My rooster was crowing just fine and now he sounds like he's got laryngitis he's just under a year old I was just wondering if this was a part of growing up?
It can happen. Sometimes they just over use the crow and get "hoarse".
The rooster may also be slightly ill and have a mucus build up. Check his beak area and nostrils for mucus and if he seems to have crusty build up around the beak and or eyes put two tablespoons of cider vinegar into each gallon of drinking water (no more than 2 tbls). Keep this in the water for 3 days and stop. Cider vinegar helps clear up mucus and will help restore his crowing ability. You can also buy a water soluble tonic with medication for this problem.
