I wonder what you do when the rooster is your neighbor's and he starts crowing a 4 in the morning? I think the cat had an idea yesterday when she sat contemplating him by the fence. But I am a nice person and I made the cat come inside.
tempting to let her stay out, though...

You complain, that's what you do!
We had a rooster a few years ago. he was fine all winter (windows all shut), but come spring, a neighbor complained. We got rid of him soon after. Since he was so handsome and friendly, we were able to find him a nice home in the country.

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!
I am wondering if someone dumped this particular rooster. The area where I live is agricultural and everyone has at least 10 acres. I don't think any of the closer neighbors have chickens because I never hear roosters crowing. Then this one just shows up at my house. Seems odd to me. Let's see, I've had a child's bike dumped on my property this week and now a rooster...I wonder what's next!
I did successfully chase him into the apple orchard across the street earlier, but he's already back. Heavy sigh.

My neighbors are spanish speakers. I speak enough Spanish to possibly ask them where their bathroom is, but asking them to shut their ****ing chicken up is quite beyond my range of skills. Originally Posted by mimitabby

You'd be surprised. people with chickens are very sensitive about their neighbor's complaints. especially if it's in an area not zoned for Roosters!
and people who live here who do not speak english usually have children who do!

I like roosters, but not when they prefer to crow after midnight and before 4am...
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Ah, in the dark...hmmm, I'll definitely keep an eye on him this evening then. Thanks, mimitabby. The only problem is, I have about a million trees here so he could literally roost anywhere. And he's not a very big rooster - hopefully he won't go too high. I hate to say this, but I HATE this rooster!!!
Zen - I could get him a hen, but then they could make more baby roosters - now THAT would be a nightmare!!!
