We also have a huge goose (actually a gander).... this guy is much noisier than the coq (I prefer the french spelling stillajwex.....)

I have the same problem. But its not roosters, its the damn church bells going off across the street from me. And 68 times every morning at 6:00am. Hmmm, do you think the cops would consider that a noise problem?

This reminds me of the time... (hears collective groan)
When I was about 21 or so, I was living on my own. I had just moved out of my mom's house, and was sharing an apartment with a fella named David.
Now, David wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree. He decided that he wanted to have chickens on the property... for eggs and such. We lived on about 3 acres of land, inside the city limits, but just south of the city - enough to make us in the country.
He got several chickens, and a rooster.
We both worked - those were my 'lean' years... when I worked like a dog, and got paid little - but was happy. We both had jobs that went through the night hours. My hours were midnight to 6am, and Davids' were similar.
I was a dj - David a janitor. Anyway, we would car-pool, as we worked at companies that were near each other. At 6am - after a long night... we would both be beat - and looking forward to a good sleep once we got home.
When we would get home - we would both go to our respective beds... and crash. My bed was a sleeping bag on top of a wooden door.
Well... the sun would juuuuuust be coming up... and that rooster would hop up on the back concrete porch (not the only place he could've gone), and CROW into the house! *mumbles - expletive*
I would groan, and get up and go 'shoo' the rooster off the porch - and stumble back to bed. Not more than 3 minutes later, he was back, and informing us that it was daylight - and time to get up - cock-a-doodle-doo!!!!! *groan*
This would go on for a bit... I tell ya... I had visions of fried chicken dancing in my head. *mumbles - stupid rooster*
I'm not quite sure how that 'problem' got solved... but I needed sleep. Badly. I would usually sleep for a few hours - and then get up - and do a semi-normal day - before going back into work again that evening at midnight.
Oh yeah... my dog Weasel, he just LOVED to chase those chickens. He wouldn't hurt them - he would just chase them whenever I came home - to show me that he was 'in charge' and taking care of things while I was gone.
Regards,
Jim TX

Ruby, took the rooster and just twisted it's head right off? Yeah...that got rid of that nuisance
The rooster on "Cold Mt" was a little punk.
Reminds me of my friends who had a rooster that blew in with a twister one weekend. The thing was a vicious little bastard--chased the kids, nipping them with his beak. I pulled up one afternoon and the thing was in the yard attacking the kids--they had blood dripping down their legs. He started towards me as I got out of the car so, I quickly looked around for a weapon, which I found in the form of a wiffle ball bat lying in the grass.
When the rooster charged me, I whacked it. It charged me again and I wacked it a little harder. After about the 4th charge, my patience was at it's end and I just beat the crap out of that rooster. He never bothered me again.
Funny side note: The following year, almost on the same date, another twister blew in a female chicken. She and the rooster lived happily ever after.

Do you keep your windows open? I can't hear roosters across the street in my house, maybe my walls are too thick. I enjoy them crowing when I'm outside, reminds me of my youth in the country. One time we had a mean rooster that would attack you when your back was turned. He got me when I was squating down and I took a couple of sticks and hit him in the head from opposite directions and he fell over. My parents saw this out the kitchen window and we had chicken for supper.

Ahhhhh! I got to sleep in till my normal hour of getting up. I guess the rooster got eaten. Hope he was tasty.
ROFL, Rodbar!! Watch out for twisters.
cindy, I would consider church bells going off at 6:00 am a nuisance!!! I have nothing against roosters or church bells unless it's before 8:00 am. And after, say, 10:30 at night (so my kids can sleep).
