If anyone is thinking about having a rooster, though, make sure to also have chickens for it to court and mate with. Because roosters without chickens get crazy and start singing at all sort of inappropriate hours. Not fun waking up at 3 Am to a rooster having a psychotic breakdown because it doesn’t have any social interaction. Or random screams at midnight that don’t let you fall sleep because the poor thing is lonely. Be aware.
Can confirm! Chickens, dogs, and children - all noisy as hell in their own way, and all make our garden sound great :)
Neighbours had a rooster for a while, until someone complained to the Council and the “rooster police” made them get rid of it.
But I loved it! Waking up early in the AM for meetings with folks in the US, and hearing a rooster, just started long days the right way.

Depends how feral they are, especially with children
