Rooster is CROWING AT NIGHT

our roosters used to crow at night.
we put our roos in at night. we cover the windows with black tar paper. It works great for us!

I started out with 2 roos, and one of them crowed in the middle of the night. If that weren't enough, he crowed like a larangytic yodeler that was being strangled. Very odd. My other rooster would crow back at him with a perfect, classic "cock a doodle doo". So I got rid of the one that crowed like a doofus, and that very night Jack crowed just like Ben the Doofus. You could have knocked me over with a feather. I don't think Jack has done it since, but it sure was weird.

Our rooster experience always had them crowing at night, hence why we are an all hen farm now. Neighbors do not mind 70 ladies laying but 1 roo crowing causes a stir fast

My two roos react to any noises they hear in the night. And the coop is right next to our caravan. If we so much as flush a toilet or click a door shut, that'll be them up and shouting for the rest of the night. The noise doesn't bother us though. I actually quite like hearing it...

Our roos crow all day and all night. Our coop is pretty tight so we don't hear much inside our house. Any noise sets them off and once one goes the next crows back and then it never stops. For the longest time I thought I had neurotic roosters then I read an article in a chicken magazine... forget which... that said roosters crowing had less to do with the sun and more to do with territory. So any sound they hear that they feel threatened by they will crow. We live in the country but there are alot of noises... horses, a donkey that breys every night at 1230am, wild dogs etc. Some times I feel my roos crow at the mice that get into the coop.

Humm interesting, I wonder if maybe the raccoons are coming around again, after all it is that time a year. Does anyone know if the crowing will distract a raccoon or make them want to investigate after what's making the noise. If another raccoon gets into our double caged in coop and get any of my chickens, i will just go APES. Yes, that's right we have a coop inside of a coop to protect the chickens from these creatures, only last year they out smarted us by making an opening throught the wired cage (1st coop) then squeezing there ugly bodies through the door of the second cage and 50 chickens with no heads gone in one night. Of course this raccoon had brought 2 of his friends to help out. They grabbed a corner of the door it couldn't have been no more then a half of an inch wide and they got in and tore the place up.. But last year when I got this rooster he was to young to crow now he just crows all the time. Doesn't he know it was daylight savings time last week... lol

We have two roos, but the Silkie roo is the one that crows all the time, esp when somebody comes around, makes a noise, or just to hear himself crow. We call him the "dog" because he acts like one. If the wind blows, he has to hop up on the perch and crow about it. (if we tap on the window, he will do the same thing) And he crows loudly, too. Good thing we don't have neighbors and I like to hear him crow.

Our dog keeps the raccoons out of the yard, thank goodness.
