My house is 1 acre. Can my neighbr hear my rooster?

[Harmonyfarmowner]

I bought 6 chickens at Tractor Supplies. I think they said it's all female, but somehow I got 2 roosters and 4 hens.

I'm actually happy with the combination. The roosters try to protect the hens and they get along well.

We live in a single family house and it's 1 acre. We have only one neighbor and the chicken is located the furthest in my backyard from the neighbor's house. My neighbor's house is also about 1 acre and their house is located in the center of this acre.

I keep the chicken house door closed and release them at 6am, so the roosters usually crow in the house, but I can still hear them cloud and clear enough to wake me up! (and I love it!) My bedroom is the closest to their house, though.

Do you think my neighbor can hear them and can be bothered? or Do you think it's not so bad so they wouldn't care?

I did not hear any complaints but I don't want to feel guilty every morning if it's not the case. And, I also don't want to bring this up to my neighbor until they mention. Can anyone share your experiences if you're in a smiliar situation?

Thanks!

Yes, your neighbors will hear your rooster.

They probably can, but I’m not really sure. 2 roosters to 4 hens is not in most cases a good ratio, and if they are young, you will see this as they mature.

Yes they can hear them. When I had a rooster I could hear him from at least a half mile away

I hear my neighbor's rooster from four acres away, and I count that as a blessing. Take your neighbor a dozen of your eggs.

Do the neighbors have a dog. Does the dog bark? If so, do they care that you can hear it?

yes, they can hear the roosters. if you've got two roosters, I suggest buying 16 more hens. Black Link or Crested Cream Legbar, as the hens and roosters of those breeds look different at hatch, and therefore it is harder to get another male by accident.
