Roosters are ANNOYING!!!

[sodapopinski]

my neighbor has a stupid rooster and it wakes me up everyday around 5ish... sometimes even as early as 4.... why the hell would you keep a rooster around?
NOTE: I live in a suburb area right next to a shopping mall, not in out in the country.

Call the noise police.

Someone in my 'hood had one. Drove everyone nuts. Finally another neighbor's dog killed the thing. Joy reigned once again.

Roosters suck! My grandparents had some and they attacked me twice. They're aggressive!

People suck! My grandparents had some people and they attacked my rooster.

I was putting an HVAC unit on a roof a couple weeks back in a semi-rural area and the people behind my customer had a rooster that was just going off. We got there at 8am and that thing went until about 10:30. I'm pretty much of an animal lover but I gotta tell you that thing was just off the hook in the annoying category.

man, how humane would a BB gun to the head be?
but what's the point of having a rooster? i don't hear chickens ever...

[Structo]

Some municipalities have started allowing chickens in the cities.

Not so in my city.

A few years back, a family got some chickens I guess for eggs and meat.
They did what roosters do, they start making noise before dawn and quite a while after.
I called code enforcement and about 5 days later I didn't hear them anymore.

Why would a city approve of something that is going to annoy the majority of the people?

If you want to raise livestock, move out to the country!

I ask myself that question when I hear all the neighborhood dogs barking all night.

You do not like Rooster's??

How sad,

Every year when spring hits and all though the summer I get up at 4AM, brew up a pot of coffee and sit out on the patio listening to the rooster at the place up the street just before sunrise.

It is very relaxing and gives me a great start to the day. Much better than those annoying Robins squawking and fighting all over the yard.

nice one Dave, lol

[Mr. New Dilemma]

The guy who lives behind me breeds them, and there is like 20. You know what? After a while you don't even hear them anymore. People come to visit and are shocked at all the rooster sounds and it is only then that I remember that they are there.

I guess it's like living by the highway and not hearing the cars anymore, or by the subway and not hearing the train. You would be suprised what you zone out after a time.

(*note, this is rural Georgia, where having roosters ranks right up there with grits and Hank Williams, complain and you will be a carpetbagging son of a ...well, you know)

On my morning run - which starts at about 4:45 every day - I go past a house with a rooster and he cheers me on loudly! I like the bird but if I lived next to it I might not be so tolerant.

Fortunately , I keep my feathers numbered in case of such an emergency .

[THebert]

How loud is your amp?!!?

[Frankee]

Don't you live in National City?

That rooster will be soup soon enough.

[DavidG]

Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the rooster, aww yeah, hey yeah
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die (x2)

Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My Buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through

Here they come to snuff the rooster, aww yeah
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die

:mob

Even though we lived in the city, my parents let my brother and I got some of those little purple, green and pink chicks for Easter (remember them?)... Well, they all survived - and we built them a chicken coop; where the neighbor kids were allowed to put their survivors, too.
We ended up with a 1/2 dozen or so of the things in our "coop", and every frigging one turned out to be a rooster... Seriously, as pets go, they're not worth a damn - "stupid" is a word that does not do justice to the intellectual capacity of a pet chicken.
Every morning BEFORE sunrise the things would begin to crow and make everyone's life miserable... Until - one day we came home from school and they were all gone, as if by magic...
My dad told us "they went to live on a farm in the country"... But I'm still not too sure about the truth of that story, as we were not acquainted with anybody who had "a farm in the country"...

Maybe that rooster of yours can go to that same "farm in the country" where all our roosters went so many years ago??? :)

I spent 2 and a half months in Israel the summer of '79, much of it working at Kibbutz Mizrah in the Galilee. I'll never forget the first day I showed up for work at the lul (chicken house). The floor I was assigned to had hens and roosters as it was for breeding new chicks. My job was to collect the eggs. Because it was a breeding floor, all of the birds were free-roaming. It was over 90 degrees every day. What did I know, I showed up in shorts and a t-shirt. The Israelis were snickering like mad. Sure enough, by the end of the day, I had streams of blood pouring down my legs and arms. Those roosters are nasty and sneaky, too. They don't meet you head on, rather, they wait until you're not looking, get behind you, and attack. You can be sure that from that day on, even if it was 100 degrees, I showed up in long pants and a long-sleeve shirt.

Some day, I will get my legally-allotted 6 urban chickens. Roosters are not allowed, though.

Don't vacation on Kauai if you have a problem with roosters.

[Joe Boy]

We have one that just came around and decided to stay. At first it was a bit of wth?
Then everybody just loves him.
Beautiful Orange Blue and Green feathers.
Big sombitch to.
We're all early risers so no biggy.

[ManliusGuitar]

I used to live next to a guy who had a rooster. Old and mean rooster, but the thing is, he never got going until around 8 in the morning

Maybe he lost his internal clock, but I didn't really mind that rooster.....

[Bluedawg]

Whenever I've been around roosters they just crowed all night ..

No waiting till sunrise for those guys.
