I love the sound of cockerels in the morning.......

I have to put my chooks out quite early because both of us are working, so they are out and about at 6:30am normally and with these light mornings I get a bit concerned about my neighbours.
 One lady came down to feed my chooks with her little grandson, who loves to see the "cockadoodles". So I thought, lets's test the waters and see if the neighbours are put off by my two cockerels crowing early morning. To my delight she says the street love the sound! It reminds them of how the valley used to be when most kept their own chickens.

I must be living in an alternative reality!!!!

We're lucky with our neighbours too. They asked us to keep our cockerel when he started crowing because they all like the sound of it. One of my neighbours was telling me the other day he sits in his garden with a beer and shuts his eyes listening to the hens, he finds it very theraputic.
