what does an early crow sound like?

[beepbeepinajeep]

I posted earlier today about my wimpy roos. I think I may have gotten a pre-crow tonight when I moved the roos all closer together (new larger tractor with three separate pens in one

) My EE made this bock bock boaaak/honkish sound... Is a crow coming soon? I am looking forward to hearing a real crow standard sized crow!

I love it when the little roos start testing out their voices. It's so funny!

Some of them can just about curdle your blood though, LOL. Sounds like one of them could be trying. They all sound different so you never know, but usually if it sounds out of the norm, it's the beginnings of an attempted crow

According to my DH my rooster's first crow sounded like the dog was choking to death. Does that help?

Totally hillarious....if you can stand it!

My young BO Roo sounds like he is gargling with mud! Never heard anything like it! But, he just keeps doing it. The big roo crows, so he feels he has to answer!

What age do they usually start trying?

 

[rnoyster]

My BO is about 3 1/2 - 4 months old now. He has been trying for about 7-8 days.

I had one start trying at 7 weeks. A real Mr. Man!

LOL, I read this all wrong from the title and these were my first thoughts...The crows around here are not too early, mostly we hear them in the afternoon when the jays are chasing them. They crow the same in the morning as the.....Then I realized, you were talking about ROOSTERS crowing not CROW sounds...Silly Me! LOL - I have no idea since I only have hens....:
