New Rooster's Gone Silent: Is He Just Chickening Out?
Three days of silence from a rooster who looks ready to strut his stuff? That's enough to make anyone do a double-take at the coop. I get it, you picked him because he's a looker, and now he's giving you nothing but quiet vibes while your other rooster just goes about his business. Honestly, that peaceful dynamic is a good sign; if they were squaring up, we'd have a whole different problem on our hands. But here's the cluckin' truth: some boys take their sweet time finding their voice, especially in a new pad. He might be younger than he looks, or just figuring out the pecking order without needing to shout about it. Give him another week before you start worrying about fowl play.
