Why do roosters crow in the first place ??

[IwannaBEaMERMAID]

i mean the real reason, not those silly explanations that they're " saying hello to the day"

Warning for danger
To establish dominance over the flock
To wake up the flock
To call the flock together
Mating calls

Cause they are boys and like to hear themselves talk.

Mine seems to crow in answer to the neighbors rooster crowing so maybe also to establish territory.

I think the biggest reason is territory. Where I live there are no other roosters in hear shot. My two boys do not crow very often at least compared to when I lived at the old place and the guy down the road had chickens and it seemed as though I had a rooster crowing all the time, basically answering the ones down the road.
