Cock a doodle bollocks!

[swee'pea99]

Sitting here in trendy North London in my ground floor office that backs onto the garden and all I can hear is cock a bloody doodle bleedin' do.

"Ooh, let's get some chickens. It would be good for the children to take an interest and look after, and we'd get eggs too!"

What's wrong with guinea pigs, that's what I'd like to know.

Grrrrr!

Think positive. You could be next to a train line

Sounds of the countryside lol

You'll hear the sound of the cock crowing even in the middle of an African city as some squatter family or servant living at the back of somebody's compound will have some chickens. Yes, they are annoying.

Typically it's the males that make all that racket. Hens are quiet.

I hear the "scrap special" at 02:12-02:15, as it makes it way over two level crossings nearly three miles away.

Its the donkey on the next street that's worst.

Could be worse. You could be retired, and sat eating your lunch by an open window and enjoying the view across the fields to the next village.

Or an early cuppa across open water!

Yes, though our couple of Polish ones are quite vocal, just not loud enough to annoy anyone but us with their chunnering away at anything and everything.

My hens only make a noise after they've laid an egg. There's three of them, they are six years old so now only lay about three eggs a week each. The clucking and crowing is loud, but only lasts about 10 minutes.
We used to have guinea pigs. They weren't as interesting, didn't eat garden pests and didn't lay eggs.

I might get a few ostriches. They probably don't make much noise, the scrambled eggs will provide me with a sufficient meal after a bike ride, and I can ride them to work if I don't fancy cycling.

We used to have a cockerel in the garden at the end of ours. The chap had managed to rehome him to a farm as he was worried about annoying the neighbours.

I quite miss him. He was sort of a friend. I miss his optimistic 'come on world, I'll have ya' attitude to life.

I used to plague him with the cockerel ring tone on my old Nokia. If he heard it he would be on the roof of his little house looking for that other damned bird.

I still miss him.
