I like roosters. I like that they crow at daybreak. I like to rise early. I have heard my Nana say thousands of times" Awake with chickens and asleep with the chickens. We lived like that for years before we got "civilized" and started going to bed at midnight or later and sleeping to goodness knows what time into the daylight.
I find it's usually lazy people, crabbed people, jealous people...actually to be downright obnoxiously straight up truthful,....miserable people who "hate roosters".
I know for a fact that cars, ambulances, trains, planes, police cars, fire-engines and such make ALOT more noise than a rooster or 2 or 6 or even 10.
I got used to all them other unnatural noises when I lived in the cities.
The one sound that did annoy me to no end was the sound of a dog or dogs barking.
Where I come from, when our dogs barked at night it was usually a sign that someone was walking to our place (usually for help) or it was time to get the shotgun to protect our herds and flocks from some sort of predator.
times have changed.
Laws are formulated essentially for " the squeaky wheel gets the grease" people.
Hmmmm....maybe it's time we started squeaking.....??! "squawking" louder or more often or ???
I like roosters. They're pretty too.
Hasgrits68, ...I had a Barred Plymouth Rock rooster. 1 day @ lunch I watched as he ran at a Goshawk that had attacked a hen. He attacked that hawk. The hawk let go of the hen and grabbed the rooster. The rooster fought back. The rooster won. Sorta. The hawk did fly away. The rooster had blood coming from his wing bout 1/2 way along. That rooster took awhile to heal but he never quit breeding or defending his hens.
