Cockadoodle but no doo
« on: August 06, 2012, 13:04 »
I have a 15week ish old light sussex cockerel and hes started crowing the last 3 weeks but it appears to be two thirds of a crow and missing the end bit. Will he get the hang of this eventually or does he have difficulty understanding the language?  ::)

all cockerels crows are different and like your boy many don't do the full crow.

He needs a bit more practise, but he'll manage it over the next few weeks!

My 2 light sussex bantam cockerel have started to crow and missed the doo off until they got the hang of it.  Now one does a lovely crow but the other sounds as if he smokes 50 a day.   ::) :lol:

A neighbour called round yesterday and we thought it was to complain but no she loves the crowing!  I have been bringing them indoors at night though and letting them out at a reasonable hour.  I didn't know that birds could be so smelly.   :ohmy:  They are on borrowed time at the moment but blissfully unaware and enjoying strutting their stuff and wooing the ladies.   :blush:

Thanks for the replies :tongue2: He had a good ol practise yesterday, we spoke with the neighbours who said they didnt mind the noise and thought it was a nice country noise. The maran cockerel still hasnt crowed and is the same age as the sussex so maybe he'll turn out quiet.
