I live in town too (Medford though). Anyway I have a rooster. I just put him in the garage everynight (he even waits at the back door for me to put him away so cute) and I cover his cage with a blanket. Then around 10 everyday I put him out with his girls. He crows for a little while then is quiet the rest of the day. No one has said anything and it has been 3 months. Hope Honey turns out to be a girl but there is still hope if Honey is a boy
This is what I plan to do with my Fav boy. I have a place in my shed for him to go and sleep so he doesn't wake up my boys and the neighbors. My kids bedrooms face toward the coop so I know I will hear about it if one or both get woken up too early. Glad to hear it works well!Anyway I have a rooster.

I'm still turning heat lamp on my girls at night. How bout the rest of you? It still gets so cold at night, I worry bout them. At what overnight temp should I turn it off.
Should I put golf balls or something in the nest box? My girls are about 4 months old....will they know to lay there? I don't ever see them in the nest boxes.

At least I know how to get back at them if they are snots! Just leave my roo out there to crow at the crack of dawn!
