I’ve seen and emu peck/pinch a person before and I decided that I’m not going to get close enough to one for that to be a possibility haha

I love Emus!

You need to go see an Emu as soon as you can and feed them grapes. Now you will love Emus!

I might be open to it. But only If you can guarantee I’ll leave the encounter with all the fingers I started out with

I do not like silkies and Emus are really intimidating to me. And if your dogs are aloud to bark incessantly or your kids are aloud to run around your yard screaming constantly then my bantam roosters are aloud to crow...thank you..I’m finished now lol

And if you are going to spend every evening working on your turbo diesel (yep! It's a Hemi!) and run that truck up and down the road in front of my house and barn to "tune" it, or until it sounds right to you, or until the beer runs out sometime around 2 am, then NO you are not entitled to complain about my roosters crowing!

They were crowing while you were running that hemi, and you didn't complain about it then!

My hubby's mother was from France, where she wrote the crow of a rooster as, "Co-co-ri-co." His grandmother, from Northern Germany, wrote a rooster's crow as "Ki-ki-ri-ki." Americans say it's "Cock-a-doodle-doo." (WOW... even my spell-checker knew that!)

Now that I've had multiple breeds of chickens over the past twenty-some years, I have noticed that Crevecoeur roosters mostly have four-note crows, and Delawares and Nankins have five-note crows, the Delawares ending with a little extra note that sounds like "yeah," as in, Yeah, I said that. I think it's pretty consistent within a breed to have a certain number of "notes," but there are also enough individual differences to tell individuals within the same breed apart just on their crow, for me.

Is that just my opinion, or have you noticed that, too?

You are quite correct, rooster crows are fascinating! Like musical phrases.

Using male day old (like from autosexing or sexlinked crosses) for reptile food or blooming cockerels (4-6 weeks that are supposed to be female or showing flaws) for raptor food isn't wrong, it's resourceful and better than making them into compost

I think a lot of opening musical phrases are based on rooster crows.

For example:
The "Odd Couple" TV show theme (lots of roosters do this, pretty close to Cock-a-doodle-doo!)
The "Heartbreak Hotel" opening (my Sultan roos do this)
My roos of all types were always very excited to hear the opening to the James Bond "Goldfinger" movie, or the opening to Beethoven's Fifth, or anything by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. (Wait, am I revealing my age cohort, here?!?)

Unpopular opinion: Your chickens are not people. If you are chickening them as people, odds are you're doing something a) unnecessary and/or b) wrong. You may also be people-ing wrong.
