What does this sound mean???

[RainesRanch]

I noticed one of the lil roos this morning making a noise that reminded me of a helicopter....is this a breeding sound? a aggressive sound to the other roos?? or what?? This was the first time I had ever heard it.

Just looked at her tractor, she has Browns or wilds J. Coturnix.

Yes, I beleive they are brown coturnix. Im going to sift them them tomorrow and figure out how many females and how many males I have. When I bought them they were only 5 weeks old and I wasn't sure how to tell the difference LOL Now that I know, Im sure I need to weed out some males. I did notice one small male with a limp yesterday, so Im thinking the boys are getting a little bit rougher now that they are crowing and such. But this noise the one made today wasn't a gurgley crow, it was a very load constant sound that reminded me of what a helicopters props sound like when their running! LOL

I think I have heard that sound only a couple times I think the roos are ready but the female is not it is almost like the roo is fussing it does,nt last long when I have heard it maybe 20-30 seconds. I have not heard it but a coupla times

Completely normal. I think it was probably a female, though.

Mine make it when they get food.

 

[RainesRanch]

Hmmmm, well I figured it was a roo as its breast is a rust color and Im pretty sure I have seen it crow as well.
