Umm.. how long do roosters crow for?

[mlcrowley]

I love it. I knew he would crow more than the once at sun up, but I had no idea that it would be just like our dogs. The wind blew, a car drove up the road, the dogs a 1/2 mile away barked at something, the goats yelled at me for food (the goats are terrified of him now that they've heard him crow). Personally, I don't mind it at all, just hoping my neighbors feel the same. Haha.

IF you really like the crowing and dislike your neighbors - get a Tommaru ( I think is the name) LONG CROWER - they seem to have an endless crow but, it does kinda finish up with a laughing sound.

Roosters crow when, where and for however long they want to. Since oi psychics have read their minds as to why (at least none have told us if they had), all we can do is guess.

Honestly there are crowing competitions for the rooster with the longest crow - that means ONE ear splitting very lengthy crow - till he is about out of breath period. It is not about
how many times a rooster can crow, one after another. It's how long one crow goes on. I bet you tube has videos.

I have 2 roosters and they start crowing around 4:30-5am and keep crowing until 30 min or so after the sun goes down. It got to the point that I researched the "no crow collars" and made one myself. I got a 2" wide piece of Velcro, about 10 inches long, double-sided (hooks on one side, loops on the other), wrapped that around the roosters' necks so that it was tight enough, and now they don't bother us at all. They still crow, it's just WAY quieter. It took them a few weeks to get used to it, and I had to adjust it a few times to keep them from choking during that first day - it's a fine line, tight enough to keep them from crowing, but not TOO tight. But it works, and I made 4 collars for about $2.50 (Michaels for the velcro, plus a coupon). Way cheaper than the $20 each that you'll find online.

Good luck, roosters can be great protection for the flock, but with the good comes the bad.

Fortunately, I don't mind my neighbors. They all seem to be very down to earth, understanding people. Especially when it comes to animals. I know one other house had a rooster, not sure if they still do. There's a steer, sheep, goats, chickens, a horse, cats and lots of dogs between the 6 of us so I'm hoping no one even gives our dear Merlin a second thought.

I found a great way of getting rid of the crowing. I gave away the rooster, lol. I actually gave him away because he had a personal vendetta against me.

That's how we got our rooster, haha. Not because of a vendetta, but because his crowing annoyed their very close neighbors, and they had no hens. He was watching over a flock of ducks before he came here

I liked the fact his crowing annoyed the neighbors, but they got a yappy dog in retaliation, and he yaps for 1 hour after they leave for work, and 2 hours in the afternoon when all the different schools get out. I'd like to give him away too!
