View Full Version : How do I get rid of a noisy cockerel.. Pobby 25-09-2006, 12:19 Hello all, Does anyone know how I can get rid of a noisy cockerel that's moved into a neigbouring garden? It's so annoying, I can't get a decent lie in anymore! Cheers Pobby never wrong 25-09-2006, 12:25 a cockerel in Bradway how strange sTaGeWaLkEr 25-09-2006, 12:26 You could try talking with your local council. I believe there are policies governing this sort of thing. As much as nature intended a cock to crow, and I'm all for nature, it can't be nice living on top of it. :( Pobby 25-09-2006, 15:38 I've tried the council's Animal Warden but there not interested...

Does it actually belong to anyone? Pobby 25-09-2006, 15:49 I think its something along the lines of a petition and then send it to local council. Does it actually belong to anyone? No, I think its a squatter from one of the farms in Holmesfield...

I went out and bought one of those "super-squirter" water pistols with a range of about 50 feet, to deal with a problem of fornicating cats and the accompanying serenade a few years ago. It worked a treat around 3am one mid-summer morning, after which the pair cats gave us a wide berth. Just how the scene appeared to the driver whose vehicle rounded the corner behind the house with his headlights on full beam, to witness the large semi naked male frame leaning out of an upstairs bedroom window, holding out a water pistol ( I mean he couldn't see the cats below), was never ascertained or recorded!

Some stadium managers occasionally before events call upon a falconer with a Golden Eagle to come in; the latter eating a few pigeons which unsurpsingly discourages others from hanging around. But, me thinks one Coq Sans Vin is going to be inadequate to satisfy the appetite of an Eagle, which would subsequently probabaly end up seeking out a neighbbour's cat or rabbit as an Entree. d71146 26-09-2006, 11:33 Hello all, Does anyone know how I can get rid of a noisy cockerel that's moved into a neigbouring garden?

Cheers Pobby When I moved into this present house behind me this old chap kept a trio of cockerels made a right old racket about 5 in the morning but after about six weeks its funny but got used to it now I don't even notice it. Angiej 26-09-2006, 11:40 A bloke down our road keeps chucks and a cockerel, tbh you get used to it, wont be long before its dark in a morning so it wont be up so early, Pobby 26-09-2006, 11:49 Hi all, I've just been informed that some inconsiderate neighbour has bought the Cockerel as a pet... I guess it'll be a bit harder to get rid of now! Devine22 26-09-2006, 11:55 Hi all, I've just been informed that some inconsiderate neighbour has bought the Cockerel as a pet... I guess it'll be a bit harder to get rid of now! then its a petition to your local council and they may service him with a noise abatement order! :hihi: Angiej 26-09-2006, 12:36 If someone now owns it why dont you pop round and have a nice word with him and tell him its disturbing you, But i doubt you will get veryfar, bladesufc1 26-09-2006, 12:38 Hi all, I've just been informed that some inconsiderate neighbour has bought the Cockerel as a pet... I guess it'll be a bit harder to get rid of now! 101 it, then get an ASBO onthe owner!! i've seen in done on SKY1 ASBO Fever haha!!!!! garryn 26-09-2006, 13:58 in a lot of residential areas, its against the law to keep fowl. You could buy a big, BIG cat! Pobby 26-09-2006, 14:08 I'll look into that, they've got chicken as well but at least there quiet! hallio 26-09-2006, 16:42 I should pop round and have a friendly word with them. We've kept chickens on and off for years and have always tried to be considerate of our neighbours (including keeping any cockerels locked up until a more reasonable hour). It's possible they don't know they're annoying you and just need to be told.... Its true that he will quieten down a lot over the winter..... but that won't help you next spring & summer! Good luck medusa 26-09-2006, 18:08 I've just pruned a load of responses out of this thread. Please note- condoning cruelty doesn't go down well on Sheffield Forum. We're looking for sensible and humane ways to stop this cockerel from disturbing people. Pobby 27-09-2006, 09:21 Good news... The Cockerel moving out on Friday, peace at last!
