Like a bad penny...
Besides a preacher, my closest neighbors are a couple of elderly people they only have about a 1/4 acre of land, but once lived on a farm. This last year they thought they'd re-live their farming years and raise chickens. The problem is that they have either one or two fkg roosters that are from the defective end of the pool. :mad: :mad: These roosters are not only the loudest damn things I've ever heard, but they crow every 8 to 10 seconds all fkg day and night!!!!!!!!!

I'm not kidding! It's driving me insane. We can't leave any windows open. Within a few minutes all you can hear are these damn roosters screaming away ten to twelve times a minute! The preacher is clearly flustered, but won't say anything because his group of Pentecostals get rather loud on Sundays. The old people with the fkd up roosters are apparently deaf and have no plans to do anything about the constant noise.

Do I call the police? Do I make a trip over in the night and just make the issue go away? What would you do? This is so bad that every time someone drops by our house, within seconds, they say "what the hell is that?!" when these roosters from hell keep up their screeching. Ideas???
 
You probably have as many coyotes as we do. Remind your neighbors of this.
A few days later, they should (hint, hint) find a few scattered feathers and that's about it.
 
If you confront the geezers about the roosters, do you think they will br reasonable? If not, then confronting them will only ruin any other plans you may have of taking care of the roosters on your own. I would say, go the reasonable route if possible, if not, put a contract out on the damn birds.

Dargo,
I was visiting some relatives in the Tatra Mountain region of the Slovak Republic. They had a bunch of chickens running around their yard. We went out sightseeing for the day and came back for dinner. Chicken soup; it was delicious. I can send you the recipe if you'd like.
 
Having never raised chickens, are roosters eaten routinely or are they considered less eatable then chickens?

I know from experience that it doesn't work for chickens, dogs or anything else that makes that volume of noise.

My neighbors dogs can be heard easily although I have a row of blue spruce and my buildings between us.

Definitely talk to them first. Would you threaten them with a gun over this and throw them to the ground if they gave you any lip, possibly injuring or killing them? That's what you risk when you call the police. Would you expect a neighbor to discuss a grievance with you, or just send a couple of armed men to your house to do it for them?

Bob, calling the police would relate to them violating any local noise ordinance.

The latter part of "Just make the issue go away" probably relates to assuring those birds are on the dinner table the next night.

I don't believe Dargo meant any harm to the neighbors themselves.

Exactly. I certainly would never harm my deaf elderly neighbors. Now their genetically defective rooster....that may be a different story. Seven screeches, 7, in the time it took to type this. This is nuts!

To try to come up with something extremely noisey of my own would not be prudent nor fair to the poor preacher missing sleep and going nuts due to these damn bird(s) now. I did speak with the preacher this morning and he said he broke down and did have to ask them if they would please do something. He even offered to buy the damn roosters. The elderly couple would have nothing to do with it and seemed to be somewhat troublesome from the way I hear.

I could either try out the new night vision setup I bought or accidentally have the real "Dargo" escape one night. Quite a while ago an old rooster tried to come after him and put some spurs to him. It wasn't pretty. I don't think I'd have to even remotely coax Dargo as to what I want him to do. Hell, I'd even apologize and offer to buy them a new rooster; one that would crow between like 4 or 5 am and 8 am or so. That honestly wouldn't bother me. It's this extremely, I mean extremely, loud crowing 8 to 10 times a minute for 20 or more hours a day that has ruined the deal for me.

Hell, I could buy 50 hogs, a dozen camels, 50 peacocks etc. if all they want is "country living". No, I won't harm the owners, but the rooster(s) are going to have to go! I'm afraid they are going to catch me after having a migraine for 3 days and I'm going to march over there, grab the damn birds, knock on their door, and throttle them right in front of them; with a firm warning that any further defective birds will meet the same fate. I could hand them a petition signed by about 50 people saying the same. Ugghhh! I'm losing my mind over some damn roosters!!!!

I wonder what price the preacher offered? Should I go offer them $50 per bird just to try to keep the peace? I really don't want trouble, but this is nuts!!!!
 
Talk to the preacher again. See if the two of you can come up with a peaceful solution (I'm told preachers are men of peace). I guess this is a real test for him- between his religious, peaceful training and wanting to blow the birds away.

Personally I am torn on what to tell you. On one hand I feel getting together with a fellow victom and then approaching the elderly couple and being as nice as you can should resolve the issue. If I had some God Forsaken noise maker I would never let it live long enough to bother my nieghbors more than a few times before it met its maker. BUT thats me. IF they are deaf or cant really hear how loud they are then I would approach them. If they can hear quite well then they just dont give a shit in that case I dont think approaching them will make a diffrence and as Bonehead pointed out would seriously "jeopardize" any "Covert" Ops against said Roosters. SO I say if they are deaf approach them with the preacher man. If they are not then go and buy your self a nice .177 caliber pelet gun. Purchase a nice little scope and the best pellets you can find. Sight it in then do the deed yourself without telling ANYONE! NOT EVEN YOUR WIFE! She cant feel or look guilty if she doesnt know. TRUST me on this. I know. Remember this is a Covert Ops. If the well hearing elderly couple come over, tell them you too had some stuff shot up by some dammed kids! Feel for them then send them back home after a nice cup of coffee. Also this would not be a good time for them to see your new pellet gun!
 
Geeze, Dargo...Looks like you're kind of a trouble magnet. Neighbors, recruiters, cops, geezers with roosters....wow..what's next? :confused2:

:idea: Maybe you could get some chicken-eating snakes and turn them loose in the coop. Nice, clean & quiet and no evidence. :thumb:

If they are disturbing the peace and refuse to be reasonable, call the sheriff and file a compaint. That's the only logical recourse, but even that may not work sometimes. Sucks to be you right now. :pat: Good luck!
 
Chicken, Vegetable, and Rice Soup

Ingredients
1/2 cup dried navy beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 or 2 (4- to 4-1/2-pound southern Indiana roosters, cut into serving pieces)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup chopped yellow squash
2 quarts chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup seeded and chopped plum tomatoes
4 sprigs fresh parsley
3 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/3 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
1/2 cup chopped green onions (green and white parts)
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup torn spinach leaves

Instructions
Kill the neighbors roosters. Clean and dress the birds. Put the beans into a bowl and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Soak for 8 hours, then drain. (For a quick soak, bring the beans and water to a boil over high heat and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to stand for 1 hour. Drain.)

Heat the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, cook the chicken, seasoning with the salt and pepper and turning once, until evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pot.

Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the zucchini and yellow squash and cook for 1 minute. Add the stock, drained beans, tomatoes, parsley, bay leaves, and cayenne. Return the chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the beans are almost tender, about 1 hour.

Using a long-handled slotted spoon or tongs, carefully transfer the chicken pieces to a plate. Cool slightly, then remove the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and bones.

Return the chicken meat and any accumulated juices to the pot. Add the rice, green onions, thyme, parsley, and spinach and simmer until the rice and beans are tender, about 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaves.

Ladle into warmed bowls and serve hot.

Yield: 12 servings

You forgot to mention being nice and neighbourly and going over to offer them a nice fresh pot of homemade soup to ease the suffering caused by the loss of their beloved roosters!:poke:

Little Red Rooster?? Mick Jagger's more like a rooster on acid. :rock: Or maybe "Little Red Rooster" is a type of acid, like:confused2: " Window Pane" or "Purple Haze".

:idea: I know! Drop some LSD in the chicken feed. Then the roosters will play Jimmy Hendrix instead of cock-a-doodle-doo and the geezers will shoot them for you. :D
