To murder my neighbour?

[ProtegeMoi]

Ok I won't actually murder them but AIBU to go and ask why on earth they think that living in a very enclosed housing estate, on the middle of terrace with houses behind, either side and facing them, did they think cockerels would make good pets!

Bloody cockerels!

Luckily they have a track record of rehoming animals in a few months once they get bored so I shouldn't have to put up with it for too long.

ithink you can report them and have cockerls removed.

Keep a record and get in touch with the noise control people at the council

Oh I will be doing! They havnt arrived yet but I've just found out they are doing. Have told neighbour I will be reporting it and that this area is completely unsuitable for cockerells! Fingers crossed they listen.

My mum lives in a small town (fairly built up though). The last time we stayed we were woken at 6am or something stupid by one of these. I wasn't impressed.

You can't keep cockerels

My chickens make a bit of noise clucking quite early - not enough to wake folks up though

I thought you were perfectly entitled to keep hens but not cockerels on an estate.
They do realise they don't need a cockerel for eggs?
I am surrounded by cockerels never hear them at dawn only in the afternoons, although I am awake at dawn due to every other possible type of bird going doolally outside my window.

They may not be allowed them. I'm pretty sure our council doesn't allow people of have cockerels.

If they haven't arrived yet, how do you know about it? Are you sure it's cockerals and not hens?

I reckon they were just trying to provoke you to start a thread, to see if you were on MN! did you namechange for this thread?

And apart from a by law saying you can't keep cockerels, you actually can't keep cockerels - many, but not all, will fight for dominance. This can mean that they will hack each other to bits, noisily.

You have to know what you are doing and it doesn't sound like they do.. 1) the law 2) the sensibility of the idea.

Do talk to the council and ask them to act before the animals arrive.

But I hope you have been told duff info and they are getting chickens. If they are given a light proof home they can usually be kept in and quiet until a reasonable time... and think of the eggs.

(I will state now I am biased as I have just had to give away my girls as I have moved and no longer have the space )

Sorry. Immature I know, but I laughter at the thought of your neighbour having his cockerels removed.

Oops. I laughed.

The dreaded Facebook informed lol, I am in a selling group along with him and saw that he was buying cockerells. Not even hens, just cockerells so nothing to do with eggs it seems! Think it may be late revenge for teething DD, plus they are a bit 'strange' to put it nicely.

He didn't need to watch mumsnet if he wanted to see if he provoked me. I told him myself and warned him if cockerells start waking me up at stupid o'clock I will be informing the council who own the house and informing environtal health.

Now what's a louder pet than a cockerell that will fit into a postage stamp garden ready to give them a taste of their own medicine lol. Think I could get an elephant into the shed?

small boy.

want to borrow mine?

Sorry. Immature I know, but I laughter at the thought of your neighbour having his cockerels removed.

I'd get one just so I could run around asking people if they wanted to see my cock. I had a friend run around with a kitten asking people if they wanted to see his pussy.
