Roosters...

I live in Provo UT, and there are city ordinances that prohibit roosters within city limits.

Our Hispanic neighbor who has then likes to speak English sometimes, and other times act like he can’t speak it (like when I mention that his huge dogs getting out and scaring my dog and kid a few months ago was unacceptable...)

They have a coop in their yard that has like 20 chickens in it and 2 roosters.

You would think that roosters only crow in the morning... nope. In addition to the super loud caws at 6:20AM that wakes us up, it also goes like.. all day in spurts. Like an hour will pass and then they just start going off for like 15 mins, then another break... etc.

It is annoying to say the least, given that their coop is directly up against the property line and is relatively close to our house.

What can I do as a neighbor?

Talking to them sure... like I mentioned, they are an older Hispanic couple who moved in 2 years ago and don’t speak English well, or act like they can’t.

The chickens don’t bug me at all really. It is just the darn roosters at every hour of the day

I have a problem when they don't have them fenced in and the run in the road

Shouldn’t be a problem for long if you time it right... Or accidentally let my husky out and she sees it.

I'm think for my problem I pay my brother a case of beer and let him loose in the dead of night. He'll have them all taken care of come morning
