4 AM...wake-up call....
Something woke me up this morning at 4AM.
Took me a few minutes to figure out what the sound was.
Then it struck me..."is that a rooster crowing?"
Roosters don't crow at dawn, roosters crow whenever they feel like it. It's a hormone thing, all about impressing the girls. It might impress the hens, but it can put you on the fast-track to being the "guest of honor" at dinner though!
The one that was proclaiming his manhood in the predawn hours is a relatively young one. He managed to escape from the chicken pen, and hasn't figured out how to get back in yet. As a result, he sleeps up in the hemlocks or something. When the others crow at night, they don't seem as loud because they are inside the chicken house, but this guy sounds like he is right on top of the hill behind the house.
Silly rooster.
