It does seem like roosters crow a lot, but over the course of a normal day a rooster will crow around 15 times on average. If there is more than one rooster living in the same place, the crow count is likely to rise.
Roosters crow throughout the day for a variety of different reasons. We all know about the morning wake-up call, but roosters also crow during dusk when it is time for the flock to go to bed. They crow after mating and when the coop is locked up for the night.
Roosters will also crow because of unfamiliar things, like the presence of strangers or cars driving by—almost anything that is perceived as a threat.
