The elderly couple also stated that they recorded every time the rooster crows to present evidence to the court.
‘UNBEARABLE’
“We can’t use the garden and we can’t open any windows. It doesn’t start until 8:00 am because it’s locked at night, but then it squeaks 100 to 200 times during the day. It’s unbearable,” Friedrich-Wilhelm told the German press. , our neighbors tried. Our neighbor doesn’t give up on his rooster. We have to live with it or we have to win in court,” said Jutta.
‘CHICKENS NEED A ROCK’
However, the owner of Magda, 50-year-old Michael, argued that he needed a rooster on the grounds that he was feeding chickens, and said, “Chickens need roosters, otherwise they would pluck each other out.”
Michael stated that he bought 5 chicks in his garden in 2018 to collect his own eggs, but one of the chicks turned out to be a rooster. (UAV)
