Adam Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I hear that Warrington Council has written to the owner of a cockerel at Woolston, telling him they have received a complaint from one of his near neighbours about the bird crowing in the morning. I think the council should write back to the neighbour telling him to wear earplugs! Woolston may not be a rural area, but neither is it town centre and the sound of a cockerel in the morning would, I believe, enhance the area.

observer Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Perhaps they could issue an anti-social behaviour order on the cockrell - three strikes, and he's a chicken dinner?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Wonder if the complaining neighbour spoke to the cockerel owning neighbour before sending in the complaint. I understand that many more people are now keeping chickens in their back gardens. Â PS If you keep cockerels locked away in the dark until 8 - 9 ish then they might not crow as much, guess with these light mornings a cockerel letting the "ladies" know that he is around at 4 am can be a bit wearing.

Bazj Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 A nice big cat.... or a shotgun would sort it out. What a stupid thing to keep in a garden in Woolston for heavens sake. If I bought a house in the country I would expect such a racket in the morning, but a house on a housing estate in a built up area... no way. Get shut of it and fine the owner for noise menace!

LymmParent Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Sensible reply? Did someone change the rules while I was over in Uniform apologising to Kate? Â I'm just hanging about here waiting to see what Indy is going to "dig up" - doesn't bode well if he's not found it yet, does it?

Evil Sid Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 honestly reading this thread has got me chuckling. how such an insignificant (relatively) topic can suddenly change is amazing. it is like reading a script for a carry on film  still it is good to see that the fun has not gone out of the forum CARRY ON POSTING at a cinema near you soon  i would have posted a bit more banter but was chicken and worried that the mods would pullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
