Mom Captures Rooster's Underwhelming But Adorable First Crow On Camera
Roosters don't have the ability to crow for the first time until they are six to eight weeks old, so catching this first crow is amazing.
A recent video uploaded by hobby farmer @pygmyacres has captured the hearts of millions, documenting the endearing first crow of a young rooster. The video, titled "Go Mr. Rooster!", shows the black and white speckled bird standing beside a shed, seemingly practicing its vocalizations. Its initial attempt at a crow, described by many viewers as "comical" and akin to a "rubber chicken sound," has garnered over 6 million views and 1.5 million likes since its upload on June 26, 2025. The video's on-screen caption, "His first crow caught on camera. Don't make fun of him, he's trying so hard," set a sympathetic tone that resonated deeply with the online community. Viewers flooded the comments section with humorous and encouraging remarks. One user quipped, "Went behind the shed so he doesn’t embarrass himself in front of his ladies," while another added, "Tell him I like his custom alarm tone." Many praised the rooster's effort, with comments like "Ur doing great sweetie" and "At least he finishes the whole sound." The video's creator, a self-described "hobby farm/sourdough enthusiast/working mom," has inadvertently created a charming moment that highlights the simple joys of farm life and the universal appeal of a creature trying its best.
