Rooster noise

What can I do about a neighbors crowing rooster that is disturbing the peace?

I live in Pompano Beach, Florida

Here is a webpage for animal control, with a phone number to call.
It says to leave a phone message and they'll get back to you.

It also has a link to the City Animal Ordinance, which forbids chickens along with cows, pigs, and many other kinds of animals.

The link to the ordinances just took me to a main page, so I had to look under Code of Ordinances, Title IX: General Regulations, Chapter 90: Animals, 90.25 Keeping of Livestock/Chickens
 
"No person, firm corporation, or association shall harbor, keep or maintain any livestock which shall include all animals of the equine, bovine, or swine class, including pigs, goats, sheep, mules, horses, hogs, cattle, and other grazing animals or chickens, on or within any residential or business district as the areas are designated and delineated on the official zoning map of the city. This section shall not prohibit the harboring, keeping, or maintaining of horses at the city-owned and operated Sand and Spurs Stables or the Pompano Park Racing Track and adjoining stables. This section shall not prohibit the temporary display of animals in accordance with § 90.25. Non compliance with the above shall be deemed a violation of this section."
This was reviewed in 2020 and is posted here:

is crow collar legal?
I don't think anyone has bothered to make any laws about it: it's just a piece of velcro around the rooster's neck.

Sometimes it's too loose and the rooster crows loudly anyway.
Sometimes it's too tight, and either the rooster dies or the person takes it off in a hurry.
And sometimes it's just right, and the rooster lives and crows but more quietly than before.
And sometimes there seems to be no "just right," so the person gives up and says that such collars don't work.

(I've never tried it, just read stories where it worked for some people, and stories where it did not work for some other people.)

Lol, you described my experience with a crow collar perfectly. They do work, you just need to have the mental ability to watch the rooster freak the flip out all over the yard, acting like a crazed nut and resist the urge to take it off, while hoping the poor thing won't die. And then they settle down and it works. Until it gets loose again. And then your husband posts the rooster up for free at 5 am.
