Aaah country life. No traffic. No crime. Neighbors gather for pot luck suppers. No complaints.
Until one neighbor gets a rooster!!

Alllllllllll night and nonstop alllllllllllll this morning the damn rooster has been crowing. Doesnāt he get hoarse?
The rooster I hear near me, not sure which neighbor, sounds more like a sick goat than a crow but if it were a sick animal I think someone would have called animal control.
Granted itās not a loud barking dog but I gotta say, the crowing has gotten under my skin. Maybe you chicken owners can tell me if the constant rooster crowing is normal. I thought it was a morning thing, a wake up call. What would make a rooster crow all day?
On the bright side, I guess I have a neighbor from whom I can buy fresh eggs.
That neighbor should be GIVING you those eggs. Hell, that neighbor should be making you omelettes!
Iāve heard tales of woe from suburban families where a neighbor gets the obligatory chicken coop but Iām pretty damn rural and it still bothers me. I havenāt decided if Iām bothered by the crowing because Iām old and am being a cranky pants or if itās annoying for everyone listening to it.
Probably a young rooster if heās warbly and croaky. They practice a lot when young and he will quiet down a bit as he settles into his voice. I personally love roosters and the sound of their crows! They have wonderful personalities!
I would have said the same thing āthat I love roosters and the sound of their crowsā.. until last night.
Perhaps chicken quiche will be on your menu in the near future.
Fatherās Day bbq chicken? š¬š¬
…a neighbor from whom I can buy fresh eggs.
Not unless this guy has distaff company. And if he doesn’t, maybe that’s why the poor feller spends the whole day crowing: he’s lonely in his cage aux fowl!
Very funny, and very good point!!
I ran into another neighbor at Shoprite this morning and she said āare you hearing the roosterā? Oh yes, yes I am!
