Rooster crowing but no sound comes out
Our take
Meet Golden, my charming Japanese Bantam who’s been feeling a bit under the weather lately. This two-year-old cutie is one of my 20 roosters, but he’s been hiding away, possibly due to some feathered bullying. Lately, his crowing has turned silent, and I’ve noticed his purple comb—definitely not the cluck-tastic look we want! While he’s still interested in the hens and munching on his favorite snacks, he’s been breathing with his mouth open like he’s panting. Let’s figure out what’s going on with this little
| | Hi. This is my Japanese Bantam named Golden. He’s around two years old. I have around 20 roosters. Golden is being bullied for quite sometimes now. He’s always hiding so I never noticed anything wrong with him. Until recently, it appears that when he crows, no sound came out. His comb appears more purple. But he’s i terested in hens. He eats normally. When I caught him, he opens his mouth to breathe like he’s panting. In this photo, he’s just resting separately because I want him to get enough food. He opens his mouth slightly to breathe. His tail is still looking upwards. His comb turns red after eating. I don’t know whats wrong with him. [link] [comments] |

- Angry roosterSo this is my darling little boy, he was born in October 2025 and has just begun to crow and call out to the chicks when he finds food. So he's pretty young. Now here's the problem, he's starting to peck me without pretty much any warning, he doesn't fluff up his neck feathers or anything. He just walks up to me sometimes and bam, I have a new bruise or wound on my hand. Now heres the thing, he was the only one of 30 chicks we hatched and he imprinted on us because we were the only things he knew as parents before the other chicks after him hatched. I really want him to stop this behaviour because if he continues to attack.. I don't know what to do with him. So I tried to carry him around or hold him on the ground but hes still pecking somehow.. please help. I really don't want this to get worse. :/ submitted by /u/moony_pats_cats [link] [comments]
- Rooster being a turdDoes anybody know what causes a rooster to all of a sudden change his entire attitude and attack you?! I’ve never had a problem with any of my roosters, and I recently gave two of them away because they were tearing up my chickens because I had too many and not enough chickens, now the one that I kept is a red one he’s got red eyes, and I thought he was beautiful until yesterday. He rammed in me he proceeded to act like he was gonna attack me. Then last night he came at me again., and again this morning, I’ve never had a problem with him and now all of a sudden he has a problem with me. I like to go in my coop and chill out with my chickens, but I’m not gonna be able to do that with him around, so I guess I’m gonna have to do something with him. It’s very unfortunate but I’m just curious if anyone knows why they just snap and start acting some type of way. submitted by /u/SafetyPrudent5419 [link] [comments]
- Help with chicken healthWe think this Australorp chicken is getting picked on by our rooster (bantam). They are all about 3 years old. The eye on the other side of the black hen is normal. I see a little bit of dried blood on the rooster Rooster has picked on her in the past but we thought it stopped. 7 chickens to 1 rooster. Looking for options and suggestions please. First 6 months of raising chickens and still learning. Chickens came from a good friend farm. Thanks for any help. submitted by /u/Gameboy112233 [link] [comments]
- My rooster is not at the top of the pecking order, what do i do?Ok so i have this beautiful Little bantam/serama rooster, i love him with all my heart, he is the light of my life. He is 5 years old. Well, all his life, he was the Alpha rooster, at the top of the pecking order, always beating the rest of the roosters, either small like him or big big. Well, last week, my parents told me that this nacked neck rooster finally beat him. I find IT strange, because this nacked neck was so afraid of my small roo. Now, after my roo was beat by this big guy, he changed so much. He stopped to eat for a couple of days, my parents thought he would die. Hes ok, thanks god. But now my baby is afraid of eberything, tends to be by himself, doesnt spend time with the other chickens. What do i do to fix this? He is suffering, i see this, he is not the Alpha anymore and i need him to be happy and a leader like he always was. Please be kind, i am very scared for his life, i dont want to lose him, i love him so much, he is my pet and my Best friend! Thank You! submitted by /u/lexandrix [link] [comments]
