Thanks for the help, TL will be getting new friends this April on the 15th, from the same event she was bought from, the fur & feathers. Also, in my experience roosters also do not crow when there is a dominant rooster around I completely agree with that statement.
Offtopic again but I currently have 5 rooster and two do not crow, I usually only say I have 4 roosters because my 5th roo is partially brain dead, he does not mate and he attacks me, he does not fly at all, he can't even jump up to his roost, he fights with my ducks and loses, he fights with my roosters and loses, and he fights with my hens and still loses. His depth perception is broken, he always misses his hits when fighting and he can not avoid attacks, so despite his massive size a small hen can give him a beating. He also does not crow or even make alarm calls, I don't know if it is because of the other roosters or if it is because of his disability. These problems started when he was around a month old, he had what I assume was a stroke and after that he was never the same. I think the stroke may have destroyed part of his brain because he is so odd. He sometimes tries to fly but it is just horrible, a few weeks ago he ventured out into the snow and did not like it so he tried to fly back to the coop, he went insanely fast, he went up and then as he went down he did not stretch out his legs to land, he just smashed into the ground and knocked the wind out of himself, he was stunned for like 5 minutes. It was like he did not realise the ground was so close. I haven't seen him fly since then...
He is a RIR. When I talk about my roos I only count the ones that mate so he gets left out.
