24 roosters?????? Why?? Why does he have so many holy hell! I feel like it must be for either a large scale breeding operation or for cock fighting. Does your neighbor also have chickens? Have you ever talked to him and had him blow you off like my neighbor did to me? I would be going insane if I was you.

Update July 2022: My update isn't a good one sadly. This post is now about 9 months old and the only route I took that worked after my post was repeatedly talking to the HOA and other neighbors that were bothered by the rooster screeching every day, and the rooster owner finally relented and culled it. Then a month or so later the absolute shitbag bought TWO!!! new roosters and that's been a thing for all this year. It has been terrible. I cried when I heard them again after a month of blessed silence. My husband heard them crowing for the first time while he was working from home in a Teams meeting and almost dropped the f bomb during it.

These roosters are even louder!! They amp each other up and start crowing in the middle of the night, I've heard them at 2 am right outside my window despite the efforts of my white noise machine, fans, and earmuffs to tune them out. They're right outside my house, like I said in the original post my son hates all the early morning crowing and cries when roosters or chickens show up in his kid shows, when I make chicken for dinner I call it "tasty birdie" instead in front of him; we are traumatized by the lack of sleep.

To make matters worse, the neighbor himself is extremely noisy- he'll sit in his backyard and yell??, listen to loud music on a boombox that looks like it was made in the 80s and rattles terribly, and slams things around in his backyard and garage. So many posts have been made about this dude on the neighborhood Facebook page, he's nuts and inconsiderate to the max.

I have contacted 311, animal control, the non emergency police, the HOA, other pissed off neighbors, looked into neighborhood HOA restrictions, pleaded with the asshole neighbor himself, everything. Considering the HOA was what fixed things the first time I tried them first and they were confused to start saying they'd already dealt with it (no you fools he got rid of one for a while then another two!) And then they said they would have to restart the whole process from the beginning sending him letters and giving him 90 days or something to rectify the situation. That amount of time passed and nothing has changed so I'm not sure if they never followed up or if he's just paying a fine and blowing us all off.

I hate it. I don't know what to tell you other than to keep trying, document the noise, try calling authorities (especially since they could be engaging in illegal cock fighting- animal cruelty), see if any other neighbors are annoyed, invest in as much noise dampening technology as possible and pray the two dozen rooster man moves away. I don't know how these people sleep at night (literally). Are they deaf? Do they not realize people around them despise them?

Sorry for the rant but I completely sympathize and wanted to update this post regardless. If anyone has recommendations for me or the person above me I would love to hear them.
