Hi I am new to having chickens. My daughter brought two home from school when they were chicks. We had them in a large dog creat for 4 months. I have 1 rooster and 1 hen. At 4 months my rooster started to crow, I was so excited. Every morning at 7am he would start and it would last a half hour!! Well last week we finally bought them a chicken coop with a run on it. Ever since I put them in there my rooster stopped crowing. He seems happy, eats well,looks healthy. Why did he stop? Also my chickens are about 5 months old, when will my hen start to lay eggs? Thank you for reading this HUGS
