Across the way from our house, we have fairly new neighbors who have made many changes in their backyard. In the hills here, few of us have flat back yards. But this property does. And recently, coops were added to the yard.
Personally, as someone who spent my first almost-five years on a farm, I like the sound of chickens. But then a rooster was added to our neighborhood...
At first it began to crow about 7 or 7:30. At the time, we were having fairly heavy marine layers in the morning and the sun didn't shine early. Then one morning, there was no cloud cover. It's summer. The rooster began his cock-a-doodle-dooing at 5:30. Hmmmm...
It wasn't long before some neighbor, closer to the coops than us, complained. A few days later, no crowing until 8 or 9ish.
And there was a gift bag on our back doorstep. Inside was a note saying that the rooster problem was hopefully solved. (They lay drapes over the rooster's home to fool him when the sun rises.) Also in the gift bag - a container with 6 fresh eggs! Nice... And delicious!
