I'm not sure if this is true, but my personal theory is that they are just challenging each other. We have lots of chickens at home, and when one crows another will answer back straight away, and you'll find that it is usually the same rooster who answers.

I live in the Philippines so I get plenty of opportunity to observe cock behaviour. It basically says "if you can hear this, and I catch you, you're in trouble"
