Think My Roo Tryed To Crow

[countrygirl911]

Hi i have a roo will i think it is a roo that was making this horiable sound earlier today it almosted sounded like it was a horn honking. like the horn on a very old truck it was very deep sounding and got louder whne my DH went to pick him up could this be he is tring to crow my girls make like a growing sound more of the hen sound but not found their complete voices yet here is a pic of the chick i believe is a roo he is about 13 to 14 weeks old the other RIR and BR are the same age as he is

Also one last question he seems to puff out his neck feathers which are very pointy why does he do that

All chickens will flare their neck feathers - it's a challenge. It makes them look bigger, tougher. Even pullets/hens will do that, when establishing and maintaining the flock pecking order.

And "baby crowing" is so... cute... they sound so inadequate at first! Like old time horns on Model Ts.

Aren't they cute? My baby 2 1/2 month old Jaerhon started crowing a few days ago and it DOES sound just like a car horn.

they are way to cute DH just said he was making a racked because he was picking him up but i said no that was a baby crow all he could do is roll his eyes lol i love it when my sweet chicks to something that is adoriable i could sit and watch them all day

The best part is that they are SO proud of themselves when they first learn to crow. My baby is so bad, all of my other roosters sound the alarm call when he crows.
