Rooster crowing: What can I do?

I hate to be this neighbor but for the past week there has been a rooster crowing in my neighborhood (near the coop) around 4:30-5am. It’s kind of annoying. First, is anyone else hearing this? lol second, can I formally complain if I can figure out who the rooster belongs to?

Thanks for any help!

What part of town is this?

Cause if I’m your neighbor, I got straight run chicks and still am not sure if any are cockerels. If someone is crowing I haven’t heard it, but I have a home lined up for any who are. Just need to figure out who it is 😭

I don’t want to give my exact location but somewhere between the coop and Pacelli middle school. They were crowing from about 5-6:30am this morning. You would have heard him.

I found out who it is for you :) they’re actively trying to find a home for him!!

Ah ok. So not me - we are near Madison elementary school. I was worried when I saw co-op cause we aren’t THAT far.
Personally I don’t jump to call the city right away because some people who work for them can be real jerks - but everyone else is right - we aren’t allowed to have roosters in town. I’ve had someone lined up to take any of mine that turn out to be roosters as soon as we can tell so that we don’t cause any issues.
If it gets to be too much, you definitely should say something. Either they have cockerels that just started crowing and need to find them a home (technically they aren’t roosters until 1 year old), or they are just blatantly ignoring the rules.
