My little roosters are so cute and so screechy! We’ve never had roosters and when my grandma had them, I was so scared of them that I stayed far away from from them.
Earlier in the morning yesterday, the little one would crow, and the bigger one would crow, then the little one would crow again and then the big one would crow. I knew as soon as I went and got my camera, they would stop and sure enough, only the little one would crow for the camera. He crows twice in the video and it takes so much effort. Poor little guy! Look at that big one towards the back with those huge feet. That’s the other rooster and it’s so funny to watch him walk with those gigantic feet. I’m not sure how we’re going to handle two roosters and 3 hens but I sure like both these guys and would hate to have to choose one to get rid of.
Vince is still working on their coop and they so need to get out of these boxes. He promised me they would be in the new coop by Sunday . . this past Sunday . . and you see where they still are. We’re shooting for this coming Sunday now but I’m not holding my breath. There’s still a lot to be done.
We mostly sleep with our windows open at night so it’s going to be so nice to wake up to roosters crowing . . maybe. I suppose it depends on what time of morning they wake up and whether they know to crow a little later on weekends. Want to guess how that’s going to work out?

Practice makes perfect and I think they are both going to practice each day……….
We are sleeping with the windows open right now and go to sleep to the music of frogs and wake up to birds singing……..
Ah…. Happy Days……….

my neighbors rooster crows at 11pm most nights. LOL

My two roosters crow at 5 every morning (later during the winter). They get the one across the street crowing back at them. I’ve gotten used to them so they don’t usually wake me up that early. I do wake up pretty quick when they crow at night – that means something is moving around the coops that shouldn’t be.

Our neighbors rooster would crow early every morning. He is gone now, coyotes got him and all the chickens. I do miss his good morning to the neighborhood!

Make sure they have a calendar so they know which are weekend days.

That was such a cute little crow. I see what you mean about needing the coop done. They look a little crowded. Hope it happens soon for them.

Oh my gosh, I don’t know how you kept from giggling when that first crow popped out!! They make such sweet noises (at least for now)! 🙂
Jevne says
Morning comes very early for roosters, Judy, I’m glad they’re not in my backyard. 🙂
Helen Koenigl says
lol – loved to hear them crow!!! Re weekends and times to crow – I think you are sooooooooooo out of luck!!!! ROFLOL
I do agree – they do need to be moved! Suggestion here – move the one rooster with the big feet in with the hens who have no rooster. I think the little crowing guy is going to be the dominant rooster anyway!

I love the sound of a rooster crowing. It’s my favorite farm sound. How can you not giggle at the sound of a young rooster.
Gari says
The roosters next door to us crow “whenever.” I got up around 2am the other night and they were crowing. I think it is such a pleasant sound that it never bothers me at all.
Rosalie says
One of my cats was on the computer table when I played this and she was very interested!
Pat McGuire says
We used to have lots of banty roosters because the sneaky hens would make nests all over the property and hatch out eggs we didn’t know about. So we had lots and lots of roosters and they might spar once in a while, but basically got along just fine. They had lots of area to roam on and so only were close in the coop.
Cindy C says
Roosters in my neighborhood will be crowing at 4:30 am. You get to where you don’t even hear it at all; I miss it when it is gone.
Norma V says
and just wait til they all stand at different windows crowing to each other with you right in the middle…
Brandy M. says
oh my gosh, SO cute! I love the creaky rooster. It sounds like it’s going through puberty! LOL.
I think you might be out-of-luck on the sleeping in thing… Don’t they start crowing at the first sign of light in the morning? Ugg!
