I bought 6 chickens at Tractor Supplies. I think they said it's all female, but somehow I got 2 roosters and 4 hens.

I'm actually happy with the combination. The roosters try to protect the hens and they get along well.

We live in a single family house and it's 1 acre. We have only one neighbor and the chicken is located the furthest in my backyard from the neighbor's house. My neighbor's house is also about 1 acre and their house is located in the center of this acre.

I keep the chicken house door closed and release them at 6am, so the roosters usually crow in the house, but I can still hear them cloud and clear enough to wake me up! (and I love it!) My bedroom is the closest to their house, though.

Do you think my neighbor can hear them and can be bothered? or Do you think it's not so bad so they wouldn't care?

I did not hear any complaints but I don't want to feel guilty every morning if it's not the case. And, I also don't want to bring this up to my neighbor until they mention. Can anyone share your experiences if you're in a smiliar situation?

Thanks!

Yep hon they sure can. Hopefully you have good neighbors

Not to be a cloud on your day but we ended up with that same combination and our hens were beaten up pretty bad until we were able to rehome one of the roosters. I think you’ll find two roosters for four hens will be an issue. Also, regarding your neighbor and the crowing, do they have a dog (do any of your neighbors have a dog) if so did they come to you to ask if you minded the barking? Did they come to you to ask if it was ok if they got a dog?

Yep, with just one acre, your neighbors will definitely hear your rooster. Neighbors many houses away will hear your rooster. Roosters have impressive range—and zero snooze button. I have heard there is something called a rooster box that muffles the early concerts. Or, as an alternative, maybe consider providing your neighbors with a steady supply of eggs as a peace offering!

They probably can hear him. It depends on the rooster, and how loud he is, but I can hear mine a half mile+ away from the coop.
