My roosters all start up about that same time: All 16 of them. I am pretty sure that your tenant will still be able to hear the rooster even if it is in the coop, but it won't be quite as loud as right next to the window. Count yourself lucky they didn't get something really loud and annoying like guinea or peafowl.

You need to talk to the neighbor and see if there is a way to keep the rooster from roosting by that window. If they could get him in the coop it would be a start in the right direction and safer for the rooster too.

In the short term, if the window does not need to be opened for ventilation, you could stuff something to muffle the sound in it: Like a couple of pillows or folded up towels held in place by some plastic, 1/4 plywood, or something. In the long term, you may consider putting a trellis right in front of it and encouraging some nice thick vines to grow up it or having some wood shutters installed.

I think it would be cheaper and easier to try to nicely talk to your neighbor first though. If they aren't reasonable, you could just start feeding all the neighborhood stray cats and the rooster problem may take care of itself.

There, I smacked the tenant for ya! If this economy doesn't start improving soon everyone will need to raise small backyard flocks for survival.

I don't know what to tell you. Mine start abouy 4 - 4:30, they crow at different times during the day. And if you have more than one they have crowing contests!!

Have you checked to make sure they could have a rooster in your area???

Cadjien, have the same problem w/our Sparky - he's a Basenji-terrier mix & even though he's an old dog now, he will kill anything he can get his paws on -- chickens, guineas, squirrels, possum -- and he'll eat any of them except the possums. He stays behind fence outside, needless to say.

Wispa,

I haven't found a way to keep a quiet rooster yet -- and they sure crow every hour of the day or night, not just at sunrise!

LaMike, glad you had a good time & nice catch & are feeling better!

Missi, SO WITH YOU on ready for fall! remind me in 3 months when I'm whining about the cold how much I hated the summer heat!

Julie, feed prices spiking again here too -- I have cut back my flock & free ranging is helping, but I'm keeping at a minimum for now, except keeping 4 darn roos so I have a "backup" for each main roo -- other than that, just keeping enough for the family needs & to keep my two lines going.

Stay cool, ya'll!

Winnie did get the go-ahead this morning to start "swimming therapy" so will get her pool up this weekend & have pics to share next week of glamour girl in her therapy pool !

You are right about the economy Twiley. The only bad thing about it, is that "non chicken owners" will begin targeting chicken owners like all of us and stealing our animals (for food) like a thief in the night. So for anyone, who isn't prepared (recording cameras, locked fences and coops) be cautious and make sure that your animals are locked up. It's gonna get worst before it gets better. All of us work too hard to raise and keep our animals and buy feed, to have criminals destroy what we have.

Keep your eyes and ears open on your property.
