Apparently...it's a game bird thing. I went out this morning, to do the chicken chores. I have 8 hens and a roo in the main coop, and 2 in the infirmary coop. So, I was walking up the driveway, towards the coops. I heard the rooster next door crow. Then mine crowed to reply. Then......a creaky crow from out to the side. I thought one of the other neighbors roos as out back. Nope. It happened again. I pin pointed it behind the big umbrella I had put in front of the infirmary run.
I have 2 hens in there. I don't expect the Barred Rock is the one crowing. The other is a game/Plymouth mix. I have only ever had the game hens do the crowing.....back when we had an accidental flock of game hens. And we had to cull their rooster. The ladies took a vote and voted one hen to be their "rooster".
I was telling DH about it just now, and he said he thought he heard a weird crowing last weekend.
too funny
Oh, this particular game hen just reached menopause I think. She was a 2013 hatch.
