I always thought that they crowed only when the sun was rising; however, when my neighbour decided to start raising chickens, his rooster was crowing about every 10 minutes all day.
Roosters crow.
Roosters tend to have larger combs, wattles and fancy tails. They crow, hens chirp. Hens tend to be smaller and duller, roosters are bright and cheerful. Hens lay eggs, roosters don't.
No, chickens do not crow.No only Roosters.No, Honey only Roosters crow, you're not the least bit country , are you?Just a Bit More Info...First and foremost, "chickens" is a non-gender word, so chickens do crow. Admittedly it is the roosters, more frequently that crow the well known "Cock-a-doodle-do". However in the absence of a rooster hens can and will crow. There are a number of stories which will corroborate this fact... And if they had never been know to, where did they get the old saying, "a whistling woman and a crowing hen, both will come to some bad end."?
Cock is the short form of the word cockerel which is a young immature rooster. The term cock is used for many species of male birds.
Roosters are known to crow at the break of dawn, but they can actually crow at any time of the day. They do so to proclaim their territory. Some roosters crown almost constantly while others only crow a few times a day.
roosters crow to reestablish their territory
Roosters can not crow if they can't fully extend their necks.
The real question is: Who trains roosters to crow at sunrise?
Roosters crow in order to show other roosters that it is their territory. It is said that roosters crow in the morning but researchers have observed that they crow at all the times whether it is morning, afternoon or in the evening.
Roosters don't have to crow early in the morning. My rooster crows all day, and our neighbor's old chicken crowed all the time. They don't really crow in the morning.

Actually it is the rooster that crows, the hens sometimes make attempts to mimic the rooster but it comes out as a cackle. The reason the rooster crows is to communicate. He will crow to announce to the world that he is on guard and watching over his flock, he crows to let his hens (and other roosters hens) where he is and how to find him. They crow to warn of danger when a predator is spotted. He will crow in response to a hen announcing she has laid an egg. They often crow just to tell the world they are doing what roosters do.
Yes. Ive seen it myself
Roosters crow. The crow of a rooster sounds like "Cock-a-doodle-doo."
Young roosters are fairly gregarious and the pullets are not happy with his attentions. They are putting him in his place. You may have heard the expression "rules the roost" It is actually the girls (hens) who lay down the law, not just the eggs. The cockerel will soon learn the pecking order.
