Rooster crowing dynamics
Our take
 | I have 2 young cockerels; a polish (Chip) and a pekin bantam (Mochi). Chip likes to practise his crow all day everyday. He is definitely the dominant rooster. He likes chasing the ladies and tidbitting and all that. Mochi was a little socially stunted due to sustaining an injury at only 3 weeks old. We kept him inside away from everyone so he could heal. He's very friendly and cuddly. We got him back with everyone else at around 5 weeks old. So Chip and Mochi have grown up mostly together, apart from the 2 healing weeks. I dont hear Mochi crow except for around 10 minutes at 7:30 am, and he ONLY crows if Chip is crowing. They don't fight ever, and i worry that Chip might attack Mochi if he crows but that hasnt happened. And I havent seen Mochi try mounting at all. If Mochi and Chip were to be separated, would this encourage Mochi to start crowing other times? I like that Mochi is quiet, but I'm going to want to seperate them into breeding flocks soon.

- The classic question- plus moreI hate to be the one to ask, but do I have 2 roosters? 😅 I suspect I do. I’m not new to being a chicken mom, but I’ve only had a rooster one time and he ended up getting sick and passing away when he was young. I already have an established flock of girls, and a friend needed to rehome these 2 bantams. She was told they were sexed and all female, so I was just going to put them in their own coop and let them do their own thing. So I guess the second part of my question is, if they are both roosters, and getting along so far, should I just continue on like this? Should I add some females? Add another male around the same age so they aren’t lonely? Have just a bachelor pad? I have no experience with this. Thanks! submitted by /u/Odd_Bend487 [link] [comments]
- What is my baby doing?First time chicken owner here, what is my 5 week old bantam Cochin doing? I'm fairly confident he's a cockerel, so is this him trying to crow?! 😭🫠 Ps. Is it normal for him to be developing so slowly? I got three bantam cochins at the same time, he and my speckled frizzle are both still small and all fluff except for their wings, but his sister (the other one on my leg) is much bigger and covered in feathers. submitted by /u/Deirdre2cool [link] [comments]
