What does your Rooster say?

[16 and me]

This is what Henry says.

Henry's a beauty! He takes his role quite seriously, doesn't he!

Our two, early in the morning say, open the damn chicken door!

For awhile I could actually tell which crow was which from each of my roos. They are different and I believe the hens know who’s talking when they crow!

 

[16 and me]

When I first got my chickens, I said no to the roosters... I didn't think I wanted to deal with the agression, and feed something that wasn't providing for me. But I was instructed on their value & accepted them. Boy oh Boy! I have a new found love for them, their role in the flock and love their individuality & all their quirks, not to mention, they really are handsome birds! It must be tough trying to woo all the ladies, keep the hen-peckery in check, feed them, watch over them & protect them. And we humans have such high expectations of them, while we mess with their herem all the time undermining their authority..

Yes, I have had 4 at a time, and from the house been able to name each Roo by their crow. How much more the hens must recognize them! My Alpha even sits outside the broody hen's nest making a purring noise repetitively for 5 minutes or more - It looks and sounds to me like he's imprinting his voice on the chicks. It's amazing!

The first time I saw my Rooster do that, I was so confused! Is he okay? Why is he nestling in a corner? Maybe he's sick? Meanwhile he was just trying to impress the ladies!!

Black Copper Marans.... They both have flocks, 9 girls each. Kong's are all BCM. And King's girls are mix with Easter eggers to produce Olives and Barred Rocks to produce Midnight Majesty Marans.

I just found him on one of your posts! He's HUGE! and a very handsome roo. You can see why he is so egotistical

He was given to me as a young adult. I asked him what his name was and he said, "I am Rojo el Magnifico!" "Oh, so Big Red, eh?" I replied. "No," he insisted, stomping a foot, "I am Rojo! El Magnifico!" I nodded. "Right, gotcha. I just have one question, Rojo the Magnificent. Where'd you get the accent?" To which he flipped his gorgeous train, flapped his wings and strutted away, clearly indicating that he was done talking to the likes of me.
