Give them a couple weeks & you will need earplugs. I suggest tossing them outside by 4 weeks old before they actually start calling. If not, you may be ready for a guinea roast before you get them out.

lol. Luckily I don't mind loud things. I have 4 boys so I'm pretty used to annoying repetitive loudness. But yeah I think they will be going out asap because what I don't like is having my 6 month old up and grumpy at 5:30 am

I have 6 kids & the patience of a saint...but the guineas still get to me after a while. Trust me, toss them out asap...lol Once the girls start hollering "BUCKWHEAT BUCKWHEAT BUCKWHEAT" & the boys start in with "Da da da da DADADADADADADADADADADADA" you really don't want them anywhere near the house at 5:30am. I had mine penned as far from the house as possible & they still got annoying enough to make me sell them all.

the thing that gets me is 1. We live in a rural area. Closeish neighbors but only 6 of us. So he complains about my rooster... But I can't hear my too or at least barely when I am in my house unless windows are open. I'm closer to him than the neighbor is. So I'm guessing he refuses to close his windows. Loo not my fault you chose to live out here and can't seem to close a window. *shrugs*

I used to live right in town, neighbors on all sides. Only 2 ever mentioned hearing my roos, the guy next door who worked 3rd shift & would sit on his porch at 6am when he got home (he liked them), & a friend who lived 2 blocks up who could hear them only if she listened close & the wind was blowing her way & she was on the back porch...she was up the hill from me so sound carried over the house & up the alley...lol

This neighbor hasnt actually mentioned it to me. I'm pretty close with the neighbors across the road and he keeps complaining to them like they can help it. Which I really feel bad about. But every one of the other neighbors say he is just a complete butt to everyone and not to worry about it.

the only neighbors I'm worried about it the ones that got on to my neighbor down the street about her roosters i really want to have a rooster or two for breeding and protection for my Lady's but not if those highland park asses call code enforcement on us again i really hope the rooster collars work

Rooster collars dont always STOP them from crowing but it muffles it at least to barely audible.

There's at least 1 of those in every neighborhood. I'm fortunate, there are 8 in my neighborhood ( & only 9 houses...lmao) 1 of the reasons I'm moving.

that's all I'm looking for

if there is no real noise there can't be any real complaint's
