It's just not right. Buy eggs like everybody else and let me sleep.

doesn't your double glazing keep out the sound of the chickens?
Mine keeps out the sound of the people at the cafe outside as well as the traffik and I have the old fashioned double window style. I think you're allowed to have any pet you want in your garden, and personaly I think it would be great to be able to reach over the fence for a fresh roast chicken dinner any time I wanted. I think you can use this situation to your advantage.
You could give them all your food scraps and do your bit for the enviroment. The feathers could be good for stuffing a nice jacket to protect you from the unbearable winter weather.

it's a chicken, not a wild leopard. I think you could get away with using your hands. If you like a bit of sport, I have a pistol crossbow you could borrow.

Nothing better than a guttural kukuriku aka c o c k-a-doodle-doo waking you up every morning! Only the lacking-sense-of-adventure and démodé ones are setting the alarm clock to wake them up at 5:30.  Why bother? And what if you forget?! Thank God for coc.... khm. Maybe not such a good idea to finish that sentence. ;D Anyway, you may not see it yet, but c o c k-a-doodle-doo-ing is actually a blessing in disguise. |

david: never done it before but I remember my grandmother slaughtering a chicken for dinner when i was a kid and i must say that freshly killed chicken(i.e. a few hours before serving) is Soooooo Delicious!! truly can't be beat to store bought.
Your neighbor might get pissed off though.

I would happily kill the rooster that wakes me up at 4am every morning with my bare hands, I just have a feeling that the ape who owns the rooster may not be so happy about it. These people did not move to the city, the city moved to them.
Also the dog that is chained up there and barking 24 hours a day may be offended too
Gav, I have double-glazing, but this kok had a huge set of lungs on him.

If you want to catch them in an easy way simply take some bread crums, drain them in alcohol (vodka, rum etc) and feed that to the chicken.
Then simply wait for the alcohol to take effect and you don't have to chase them anymore. Works also perfect if you want to go after ducks, they will simply turn over in the water and you only have to collect them.
P.S. Don't use expensive alcohol.............that would be a real crime !

Another way of upsetting the rest of the neighborhood ?
When the chickens start at 'O dark hundred' get out of bed a bit more early, open your windows and .................wake up the chickens and the rest of the neighborhood.
After a few days ?
I think you will be the star of the neighborhood.
