Crowing
The camera in your coop might be what is causing the crowing. If I turn on my coop camera after dark even on night mode the IR LED light on the camera is enough to wake up my rooster. He senses the light and starts waking up the girls. If I don’t turn on the camera he sleeps trough the night without a peep.@wrathsfarm I’ve got a question that’s maran related ish. So my maran mix rooster, Fred, he’s a year old. And circumstances being what they were, he stayed indoors for A LOT longer than he should have..blah blah blah..
Anyway here recently since it’s been cold, 12 degrees at night, and Fred crows and crows until I finally give up and bring him back in. Once he’s inside he snuggles down and sleeps. It’s odd though because I’ve got coop heaters in the coop and it’s 42 degrees in there. My other chickens are perfectly fine. There’s no fighting or bullying going on either. I’ve got cameras in the coop, and he just stands up on his roost and crows, until I go get him. Actually he follows me into the house, he climbs the porch stairs just as pretty as you please, pecks at the door until I open it for him. Is this odd behavior a Maran thing? Or does Fred have “special” needs? Surly it’s not possible to spoil a rooster…right?!
