My Fitbit vibrates for alarms. No one hears it.
Does the microwave bother him too? It and the stove have timers. Though I don’t like the stove. Too loud!
I’m glad to hear that your rooster did its job. I’m sorry that it was a dangerous rooster to begin with. I hope that you find a rooster that is as good of a protector but not aggressive. Your hen should make it. People in the Educational Incubating thread have dealt with it. If you need help, post there.

No, but the microwave beeps instead of ringing. The stove buzzer kind of scares him, but not in the panicking-the-whole-time-it-is-ticking-down way. I'll try it - I don't know that I can hear it from the other end of the house.

Can anyone suggest an egg-timer type thing that has a less jarring sound (not on the phone or computer, as those tend to distract me)? My son panics like crazy every time I set it, hyperventilating, running in circles, flapping his hands. "I'm cleaning for 15 minutes. It will ring when the time is up. It's just a sound, telling me I can stop." "BUT IT WILL RING!" Then he panics more AFTER it rings, jumping, flailing, crying. It doesn't hurt his ears. He just loses it every single time I try to use it.

Also, my rooster died chasing off a fox (one of the girls just about got her comb ripped off - it's hanging on by 1/4 inch). I was sad, but he's not terrorizing the girls (especially now that the one is injured), not waking me up at 4:30 any more, and I'm not as concerned about my 2 year old playing outside. I'm... marginally grateful to that blasted fox.

How old is your son? Is he generally sound-adverse? Does he dislike the vacuum cleaner and noises like lawnmower as well?

I swore I heard Duckling talking to me while I was in the shower, but she’s sound asleep.

He's 5. He doesn't mind the vacuum or lawnmower, but he does go into full-bore panic when the smoke detector goes off. I have SPD, so I know how to recognize that. But he is panic prone, and it is specific (but usually unpredictable) things that freak him out. I think it's the ticking more than the ring that does it.

My son talks in his sleep from time to time - it is entirely possible Duckling did the same.

Things you say:
“I’m going to go make supper. Don’t kill yourself!”

19 weeks and WE HAVE EGGS! Gave the girls fresh corn to congratulate them. (They were child-sized eggs. The kids were happy.)
