Dear Prudence,
My neighbors directly behind me recently got chickens. And a rooster. For the last week, I have been woken up and heard constant crowing for the next hour while I get ready for work. I checked my city’s municipal code and rosters are illegal. Is being annoyed by the noise enough to call and make a complaint? They are people of color and I am very aware of how people in this town are usually treated by authorities.
Re: Talk to them first
Also...white noise machine possibilities? I realize that's super hard with an animal but can you mitigate it?
There is no covering the noise of a rooster. It's annoying, it's loud, it's disturbing...which is always the point, but that's why they're not allowed in cities. Headphones might work, but I can't sleep in them.
