Imitating Rooster / myLot

United States

July 6, 2019 10:53pm CST

After responding to Miss_Leafy's post on getting a wake up call from the neighbor's rooster, I had to post this. We have two roosters along with about 15-17 hens. The roosters wake us up each morning around 6 am most mornings. One of the roosters is a pretty good mimic, as he always mimics the hens as they lay an egg. So throughout the day we can hear hens cackling when they lay followed by one of the roosters with his funny imitation of a hen laying and cackling. It's too funny. Have you ever heard a rooster imitating another animal or chicken? Photo: Pixaby

That's lucky for you that he doesn't start his business until late in the morning. I used to hate it when they would wake me up when I was working before the alarm clock went off.

@crazyhorseladycx That's pretty funny but I"m sure it wasn't funny at all to you at the time.

@wolfgirl569 Yep, time to go if they get mean. Someone told me to take them by the feet and whirl them around for a bit and that will show them who is the boss. I did that two times...don't know if once on each one or one got it twice, but I didn't have any more problems out of either rooster after that.

I've never heard roosters trying to imitate other sounds. They sound funny when they first start learning to crow.

My hubby thought he was trying to crow and I said no, listen carefully. He's imitating a hen clucking when laying. It is funny. I wonder if he thinks he is going to lay an egg? haha.
