The expression "making mountains out of molehills" is taking on more and more relevance as this thread develops.

Not necessarily. If the birds are cockerels and if this is an urban area, the OP would have a case.

I doubt if you would want three or four cockerels right outside your bedroom window! :rotfl:

What I can't understand is why anyone would have so many cockerels. They are totally unproductive, and it's not unknown for them to fight, even if there are no hens.

Hmmmmm.....

Yes its the very big IFs that are the key to the question.

Indeed. I've only managed to keep cockerels together when they are young or of two particular breeds.

Hens are surprisingly vocal, are you Sure its not hens? The noise a cockerel makes is quite distinctive and well known?
As for space, its an argument for another day. Many a commercial bird lives in a tiny space, and many domestic pets live in tiny hutches. Many domestic fowl would see a run the size of two cars as wonderful compared to the tiddly little runs sold for back yards.

I see some people saying that I'm contradicting my self, but what I'm failing to understand is how classifying a space as big or small is such an issue on a thread that is mainly talking about other things.

Yes I brought up the size of the back garden but these were general details about the place. what might seem small to me probably is big for you or viceversa, reason why I used the "two cars" measurement to give you an idea on how big the place is, if this is something you guys think it's relevant.

Anyway, coming to the main topic, I am not expert of cockerel,hens etc. and after reading several comments about people wondering whether it's really a cockerel or hens, I did some search on youtube.
This is how it sounds

I also searched Hens crowing and their sound is completely different so I am 100% the sound im hearing is the one in the youtube video link i've posted

OK definitely the male of the species then. If you are going to complain you should keep it factual and not emotional. Stay well away from the farmyard argument. Its the noise which is an issue.
