Rooster crowing at night??

[ShellyLynnW]

Our town has an annual event called the "Rooster Crow" where the roo that crows the longest wins. All of the roosters are individually caged & covered to block out the light; when the cover is removed, they crow.

It's very cold here now, so I keep a tacked on (from inside coop) piece of burlap over the chicken door to the coop (that is about 4 ft off the ground with a landing platform/roof/shelf for them to fly up to), it has a cut slit (top to bottom) so they can get thru it. It does block the wind, moonlight & sunlight thru the year. Maybe that could block out some of the light?? Maybe a draw curtain on their window that gets light at night?? Don't know your coop, but just making suggestions. Best wishes.

I hadn't ever heard of this! Thank you, and I'll definitely also work on getting better cover for windows, at least at night!

And thank you to everyone for your help! I'm on my way out to check on my buddy's, and hopefully try to get some sleep! They'll be ready for breakfast soon

Thank you, and motion sensor lights are definitely on my list! Thank you for the entrance advice as well! That might be a nice way for them to get in and out, and I can just work on securing the rest of the structure!

My motion sensor light is battery operated, easy to install. Good luck with all that, get some sleep girl.

My rooster does it to but he does it in his sleep I set up cameras and saw him crowing in his SLEEP . I think they just have dreams

that is so hilarious to me! Considering I had to seperate the roosters, one with the girls, one by himself at night, I wonder if it's my gentle Roo having sweet memory's, or if it's Knight Rider (my little boy named him), having dreams of being the one with the lady's

I picked up a battery operated one to try today! Thank you again so much for the advice!!
