This is interesting, chickens mostly sleep at night and the roosters crow at day break. I wouldn't call it calm or considerate - but at least they know when to keep it down!

Yes. The only exceptions I can think of are intrusions in their enclosure and surprising events (fireworks etc), in which case it's probably justified.

Now, "day break" can mean 5AM during the summer for instance. It can be tough at times.

Hum, no. Roosters have each one a favorite time.

Most concentrate around the break of the day, but plenty will pick the middle of the night or random times during the day.

If there are multiple roosters on a farm, living in the same coop or different coops within hearing distance, they will trigger each other to crow earlier, like it's a competition.

Especially young roosters will try to establish themselves by being first. The big old rooster who knows he is the rooster in the henhouse can afford to wait, with his big testes energy.

Yeah, my roosters get started 1-2 hours before dawn, and they'll crow now and then throughout the day for various reasons, usually something like, "Hey, stay away from my hens, buddy."

Hens are pretty quiet. They'll do some clucking after they lay an egg or when one of them finds a worm, but you'd have to be a very sensitive neighbor to be bothered by their nose.

Chicken/Cattle farming is too old fashioned and cumbersome for today's climates.

If for real mental breakdown vineyard farming is where you should be.

You can also sip away your woe by rewarding yourself with a glass of wine at the end of the day.

A bug farm.

Hens are pretty quiet, except the first half of the daytime.
