Why is rooster crowing at 3:55 am?

Eh,mine's the neighborhood crowing catalyst. He sets off the surround sound of crows every single morning. It used to bother me, but if he didn't do it another roo would.

Because he has a great ambition to become chicken soup.

I have had multiple roo's for a couple of decades (not the same ones the whole time, obviously!) I learned a long time ago that I could almost tell the time at night by the roosters' crowing. At about midnight, one or more would crow, but just every once in a while. Around two a.m, they'd pick it up a notch. Around 4, they'd do it a bit more often. By the time the sun rose (6ish), the crowing would be just about continuous.

Fortunately, they do take breaks during the day.

I do love to hear them! I'm blaming it on the cars driving by (headlights), and the critters moving around outside the coop. Once one starts, they all have to chime in. mARY
