As yet I haven't heard my 8 week old SS cockeral crow. Not a big deal, his comb is coming in nicely as are his wattles. He's a sweet boy and is the first out, last in. Really laid back. Now the rascally upstart 6 week old cockeral has started crowing! And not only that, his comb and wattles (what little there are of them) appear to be a darker red than the 8 w.o. Not to mention that the little guy is far from friendly. As a matter of fact his name is "Running Man" because he absolutely does not want to be touched and runs for his life everytime I move them from the coop to the run.
What is going on?
I will say that his very rough attempts at crowing this morning were less than appreciated by the pullets. Several of whom raised their neck feathers at that wretched sound. A couple of whom jumped on the upstart to shut him up.
