He's been with us a couple of months now, and I thought I was getting use to his "way too early in the morning" crowing. Then Layne got sick a couple weeks back and was up every other hour coughing. Well guess what, while Layne was coughing at 2:30am the rooster was crowing at 2:30am and 3:00am and 3:30am and etc. until 5:30am when it just didn't matter anymore because I had to get out of bed anyway! By the way, when I finally got out of bed one morning after a long night of coughing and crowing, Layne said to me, "You should have seen the Rooster last night. He was all perched up on the deck crowing (note that our deck is right underneath our bedroom windows). It looked like a picture perfect farm scene." I don't know about you, but to me there is nothing "picture perfect about a rooster crowing at 2:30 in the morning! So then came Daylight Savings Time (and thankfully Layne's coughing has slowed down) and he kind of got into the groove of a 5:00am cock-a-doodle-doo. But if any member of our family is up at night, the rooster feels that he has the right to crow! And he doesn't crow just once, he just keeps going and going and going! And sometimes, he feels like he can't be heard so he has to get up in a tree to project his cock-a-doodle-doo! Hence the name, Psycho Rooster.
-To our neighbors and guests who stay the night and to our neighbor's guests who stay the night, I truly am sorry for our over anxious rooster!-
Anyway,I thought I would leave you with a nice little video...
and he's still crowing! Happy Days! :)
