Dead Rooster !

[Chicken101-07]

Mine seems to crow at 3 in the morning if the weather is about to change the next day,other than that he never crows at night unless there is some light that disturbs him like a car passing by

We'll miss him too but he needs to be able to live his best life View attachment 2046789

Just so you know, in the future, there are saddle aprons that you can buy, or make yourself, that will protect the ladies' backs from the boys' enthusiastic overuse. When I start to see a hen with feathers missing, raw back evidence, I slap one of those puppies on, and she'll heal, the feathers will return in the molting season. Next spring, she's as good as new.

Sounds like a great weather barometer, then.

Is it bad that I want to go out to the coop, and strangle my rooster ? Right now this would give me great pleasure.

He has been crowing every 12 to 15 seconds, since 3:00 am this morning. Yes I counted the seconds between crows !!!

It's now 6:15 am.

This is a daily ritual, and I'm getting really tired of it. At this point I have one nerve left, and he's pecking the crud out of it !!!

Two words come to mind ….. Bullet, and Brain …..

Anyone else have this dilemma ?

EDIT : I'm (probably) not gonna strangle, or shoot him, (today) but, all bets are off if this continues.

I have a big fan I sleep with for white noise. I have 2 roosters and can’t hear a thing

I cannot hear your rooster. But I have a lot more with one penned less than 10 feet from where I sleep. Frogs and songbirds more annoying. Still could not sleep without hearing all that.

Yes.... and insects.

I’m at Seven Roosters and Two Cockerels, and they are all very good quiet boys from what I’m reading. I frequently have three to five of them right outside my single pane bedroom window. I get a brief sounding off from most everyone about two hours before dawn, then they let me sleep in, until well after sun up! I find if there’s a disturbance outside the “coop” (mine are actually in chicken tractors, and mostly open/exposed) from a Raccoon or Owl they make a different alarm call rather than their normal good morning crow.

Thank you so much

I ordered mine from Cackle Hatchery. Only problem there is you have to order nine, to fill the box so they keep each other warm. I ordered mine in mid April, I got three extras! But thankfully they were all girl. I have 13 that lay. I get 10-13 eggs a day in the summer. I sell them on Facebook Market Place. $4.00 a dozen! You'll love it once you get the hang of everything!

Keep in mind that roosters crow for a reason! However, it could be a reason only he understands. As for the dust-to-dawn lights, I am sure that they bother him. Chickens need 8 hours of total darkness in order to be healthy. I don't mind the crowing but totally detest the roost that attacks humans!
