i can obviously tell you are a city boy. Down here in the country, where the air still smells crisp and clean. Roosters were to crow at the break of day to wake everyone on the farm up. Some roosters crow around 6 or 7 depends. It also depends on thier age. Baby roosers will crow all day long just learning how to crow. That can be really annoying. I love to wake up in the mornings walk out on the prch look over the pond and watch the birds flying high and the listen to great outdoors coming alive again. It's amazing, but anyways that is what roosters are here for, to wake up these young kids that sleep all day.. Back then a 4 year old was in the garden at 7 am. Up by 5 am. Kids these days only know about 5 or 6 am if they stay up all night and see it. Pathetic, wasting your life away.

Crowing is a territorial element. that's a manner of letting different roosters understand that they would be in for a combat in the event that they arrive. They crow extra interior the springtime. My previous roostie used to start up at approximately 4 am and flow on until dusk. ignore that they only crow interior the morning, roosters love crowing and intercourse and that they do the two as much as they'd.

If you have ever awakened just before dawn and heard all the birds chirping their little hearts out? They are actually telling the other birds where they are and where their territory is. The rooster is doing the same thing. He's telling all the other roosters where his territory is. By the way, I grew up on a farm and our rooster crowed all the time during the day - he only crowed at night if there was a weasel stalking the hen house.

Most kinds of birds make their loudest calls during specific times of the day, usually in the morning and/or evening. Birds live in very complex colonies, so the reasons for calling are mostly speculative at best. Nature doesn't always have a causal reason; it just responds to the way things acausally are. The morning call of a rooster is probably hard-wired into its cirdadian rhythm.

Why do we walk? Why do fish swim? Why do birds fly? It's instinct... it's just a thing that they are born with and will do.

Cause we killed all the ones that crowed at midnight!
Evolution at work. They adapted or died. :)

I believe that is why they were created...to wake everyone up, when alarm clocks weren't invented yet

They can't do it at night because they are sleeping
