crow

My silkie rooster, Monte Muffiano, is 6+ months old and in a flock of four hens and no other roosters. He crowed one singular time a few months ago and that's it. 100% silent. All his siblings and his dad started crowing loudly at two months old. Is it possible that he'll be silent? He used to...

Hi everyone! Sorry it’s kind of hard to see their chests but I just wanted to confirm that these quail are male? I know the gray one is because I saw it crow, so did a couple of the brown ones. Any feedback is appreciated! Tried vent sexing them but no foam yet.

Hi everyone, My brother found a crow that wasn’t moving on the side of the road and instead of leaving it he bought him home and put him in a cage with some food and water. He seems to have a broken leg and I put him out where he had more room but he didn’t move for three hours but he is still...

Okay Yall I have never heard a rooster crow. Like ever. I’ve never been around chickens much but yesterday started the first crow from one of our 11 week old cockerels. I’m dying laughing. I was working on the new coop screening it in when I first heard it. My husband and I thought a chicken was...

What breed is my chicken? Also what is its gender? I think its a hen but could use confirmation. Its name is Crow. Its black with blue/purple feathers on the lower part of its wings. Its about 4 months old.

Hello! I have 2 Barred Rock Bantams that I need to re-home. They're about 4 months old & little sweethearts.. I just have TOO MANY ROOSTERS! 🤣 They're great guardians (they always alert when something is near), they're fairly docile (they don't like to be picked up, but love to be hand fed)...

Hi all! I have a brown leghorn cockerel who is just shy of 2 months old. This morning I heard what sounded like a dying cat screech. I went to my garage to find that it was actually my male leghorn named Peanut. Everything I have read in my very little research suggests that it should not start...

My Splash Silkie rooster's (almost 2yr old) crow isn't as vibrant and it has different sounds now.. he seems to be doing ok otherwise. It's been cold and wet here, so maybe he's tired of the weather .... :). anyone have experience? is this a sign of illness? thankx

Who here on BYC loves to hear their roosters crow? How do you manage keeping roosters (tips, tricks, advice)? Post pics of your roosters... Post stories... Post videos Let that 🐓 crow!!!

Hey all, I am a passionate backyard chicken farmer, and over the last couple years I designed and perfected a simple “device” that dramatically dampens a rooster’s crow to a level that is much quieter than a squawking hen. It is easy to apply. It does not choke the rooster in any way, unlike...

I have a rooster he’s perfect has a perfect personality and is the perfect breed I dream of but he crows very loud and a lot and I have neighbors. My neighbors haven’t complaint yet but they might in the future. I tried giving my rooster a crow collar but he’s too smart he just takes it right...

When I got my chickens, and they are literally “back yard chickens” they haven’t destroyed my garden yet and that’s nice. To the point- we have two crows... oh my wow. These guys are crazy. I had ducklings (7-9 weeks) who free roamed supervised and had a secure run for when I couldn’t...

I swore i thought i hear her try to crow today and now I’m paranoid. Probably somewhere 10-12 weeks old do you guys see any ROO characteristics? Help lol

Hi all!! Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe!! So I have a small coop of 4. An ISA brown hen, RHW hen, and 2 bantams. One a english bantam and one a seabright. Only my RHW and English one are laying and the seabright is occasionally laying. In the morning, my mom claims she hears a...

I feel sort of guilty posting this when others have much more urgent problems, but I'll do it anyway. My eight month old silkie rooster, Peter, wheezes after he crows. I'm not sure, but I think this is new. I noticed it yesterday morning, because he crowed several times. He crows, then sharply...

I want to be sure on what breed this is since we've been told different things. I am still new to chickens and the 3 biggest turned out to all be roosters. The other 2 roosters are blue/grey australorps. So if you could let me know what breed this is, I'd be so thankful. :))

I just had to share this because it's too cute! "KnotHead" is 8 weeks old. He is from a Crested Cream Legbar Hen and Copper Maran Rooster. My daughter named him this because he has always had a knot on his head, right before his beak starts. All 3 guys are going to be joining their bigger flock...
