According to most people, "up with the roosters" means to wake up at dawn. Roosters don't wake up at dawn; they wake up at 3:30 am, scream at the top of their lungs, and every rooster within earshot does the same. That, and it's not the "cockle doodle doo" as heard in cartoons. Some do, but they're the minority. Some will make you wonder if you should call 911 and report a murder. Others sound as though they're gargling corn, or are three pack a day smokers. All continue for hours; regardless of the weather. So, now you know you have been told something that isn't true. You're welcome.
I just want them dead!!! Even a rooster can be edible when done correctly...
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother made some chicken and noodles one time, which she swore was probably made from a rooster. The meat was tough, no matter how long she boiled the chicken.
DeleteYep. One across the street screams all day every day.
ReplyDeleteWhen buying chickens, many time you'll be offered a rooster for free. Breeders only care for those make healthy babies.
DeleteYep. The neighbor's rooster crows all day; morning, afternoon, and evening.
ReplyDeleteWhen it's really quiet in the early morning hours, the constant crowing is annoying.
DeleteThere are some a few houses down, we don't hear them very often.
ReplyDeleteJust about everyone around me has chickens. The choir cranks up early and crows occasionally during the day.
