I've found that most cockerels go throught a constant crowing phase, that (most) grow out of. The decibels they reach is not something I've found to be controllable

8 WEEKS?! Ummmmm that's WAY too early for me. Even Lady Gaga was older when he crowed! I'm not so sure on that hypothesis either, but doesn't hurt to theorise Oh my gosh, that guy is HILARIOUS🤣

I guess I'm just mean:p. I think they're ugly right then and there. Doesn't mean I love them any less...they're just...going through a phase

I too love the teen stage, but the mid-late teen stage. From 6-8 weeks and up. That's when they start looking cute again, and actually start living like chickens

Yall are WAYYY nicer:lau . Out here they've been getting called feathered rats (no offense to any rat owner). The only ones I could say are kiiiinda cute are the serama

I guess early crowing is connected with early maturation, and as such, lots of hormones at an age that's not appropriate?

At that age, it'd be physically impossible for a chick to make this sound. Just because the crowing is not well defined, doesn't mean it's not a crow. It's just the best lil' man can do

You're way nicer. All they've been hearing from me these past few days is "you're not the prettiest right now, but it'll pass!":lau

This is the first day some of the chicks turn 3 weeks old! They're in the ugly stages :p

That's the most adorable thing ever :love . 6 days is still VERY impressive! As you can see BDutch, anything is possible with these birds!

Pipd, did you have any three week olds when the three day olds were crowing? It seems sooo early, but you never know what to expect with these fowl :p

Right?! That's like, giving birth to a child, and a week later, it's running laps around the living room :th

I've still got the serama mix cockerels in the freezer. Gave one to a family member (can't remember how they cooked it), said it was delicious. I usually raise them up, and give them to an acquaintance who butchers them for me. Some days later, I pick them up. I've yet to be asked for one of my...

That's the plus side of raising LFs I guess, excess cockerels=food (that, and having the strength to butcher them, or find someone that can)

Definitely! Although some are less worrisome than others!

Yup. Not complaining about it, this year I won't have any teeny teeny chicks to care for and worry about during the summer, I'll just get to enjoy the good parts of juveniles getting introduced to proper chicken life

Indeed! So fast in fact, that their breeder and keeper forgot a whole week. Embarrassing, isn't it

Wow! Even more odd! Cool dude!

No wait, I'm so dumb. They'll be THREE weeks this Thursday
