I never seem to need an alarm clock because my mind wakes me up way too many times before the sun has a chance to rise. I have been trying to find a silver lining in having 5 Roosters at the farm when I wanted none. After watching BABE (you know the Pig story) trying to cheer myself up after the horrible week I was having I thought the universe gave Roosters for a purpose and so I have natures alarm clocks. I admit 5 alarm clocks is a bit much but maybe it was so I would never over sleep - Like that would ever happen!!
Well, my alarm Roo is broken!!! Out of all the roo's the only one who is crowing is the biggest rooster who is all white and some what a bully and he has a broken timer - HE CROWS ALL THE TIME! I mean ALL THE TIME!!!! You can hear him at7 am and 7 pm, 9 am and 9 pm, 11 am and 11 pm, 2 am and 2 pm, 3 am and 3 pm, 4 am and 4 pm and so on and on and on and on around the clock. You would think that this silly guy would sleep sometime? I know I would like to and I can imagine the hens would love to break his beak.....
At least the silly duck in the movie only crowed at sunrise... My ROO should try another job - maybe a stop watch, an egg timer, a dryer buzzer or even a car alarm..... I wonder if it is his age - maybe he can not tell time yet??? Yes, I have a clock in the hen house. I sure would like to hit his snooze button!

Grace, Sorry to hear that you alarm is broke! A car alarm sounds like a good idea!
Yep, because truck theives are hidding behind the hay stackes!! He is such a silly thing - you think he would loss his voice - I could only hope.
Maybe he was a town crier in another life??? Annoying to say the least. My roo is just as silly.
I posted back in october. I bought 25 from the same hatchery. We ended up with 4 roosters. 3 are identical to your black and whites and one is white/gray/orange. Sorry to hear that you are not enjoying them. I keep a few roos to incubate the eggs. Yes they crow all day long.
