Crowing
Can't wait to 1) Get "chikens"; and then 2) Show our boys and girls.I like crowing too especially since it's coming from such a well behaved boy

I found I like crowing. With my windows closed it didn't wake me often. Even while my chickens were right below my window (mobile coop). I'm a relatively light sleeper.
If you're allowed roosters, in a rural area, and/or far from other houses I wouldn't stress so much about it until you experience first-hand. On a not-windy day without a lot of motorcycle traffic I can hear other roosters, donkeys and cows. It's part of the background noise to me like birdsong, and an "all's well."
wow, 15 feet would be too close for me, but I do love faintly hearing the rooster in the morning, as I figure that means they made it through the night.
Bless. I couldn't function that close to a single track.My first apartment was about 100 yards from a busy crossing with 6 or 8 train tracks. What's a rooster compared to a freight train?

My sister used to live right under an approach route. The first time I was there when a jet flew over, it scared the crap out of me. I imagine you do get used to it by growing up with it. As an adult though, I believe the loudest I could live with are the cows bellowing into my windows at 6 a.m.When you grow up with it you get used to it. At night I'd listen to the train whistles and let the vibrations rock me to sleep. In a different place when my daughter was a baby I'd be up nursing her at night and could count 7 crossings on a still, humid night when sound travels best.
I wasn't quite that close to the tracks at home, but my Mom was about 1/4 mile from that same crossing and my Dad was right under the main approach route (at the time), for Greater Pittsburgh International airport.
Where I live now I can't hear any trains at all and I only get light aircraft and military helicopters so it's weirdly quiet by the standards of my lifetime.
Our lone rooster, Big Red, crows very lovely. He chats with the neighboring roosters, clucks to his harem, and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, lets us know when danger is near or the hens need help! We are thankful for him.I like crowing too especially since it's coming from such a well behaved boy
He sounds like a keeper good roosters are hard to find.. I think another perk is roosters bust up fighting I will see my boy run several yards to bust up his girls in an argument...Our lone rooster, Big Red, crows very lovely.
