Come night time bring the domesticated rooster inside.
Set up a projector behind the rooster which is set to start up via a time switch.
At your desired time,the projector will project a short animated movie of a sunrise upon the wall.
The rooster will go off in all its glory. If you want
to have a lie in set the projector to a later time.
Open curtains put rooster back outside.
Actually...

It's unclear that projecting an image of sunrise would do the trick, but it's possible playing a recording of another rooster crowing would work. Either that or a carefully metered melatonin drip. [egnor, Oct 05 2004]

How does the snooze feature work?, and would you increase the number of roosters for the hard of hearing? |

One of the common "talking time" chips has a "rooster crowing" alarm clock. I don't know if Radio Shack still sells the same clock, but if you want to wake up to an annoying electronic rooster you might go there and see. |

I've used a rooster sound file in my clock radio CD, but haven't tried a real rooster. Yet.
If the rooster isn't awake, the projector would do the trick. As [egnor] said with the [link], they work more on a biological clock. I stayed on a farm one summer, and those blasted roosters didn't seem to sleep much at all. You get used to it after a while, which isn't good if that's your alarm clock (alarm cock?).
On the other hand, I would almost certainly wake up if there were a rooster crowing in the bedroom. |

Yet another example of nature being replaced by technology, give me the rooster anytime. |

Add a hen for a breakfast egg. |

How about the rooster pouncing upon your face as you sleep, digging it's sharp talons into your flesh. |

What would you smash on the rooster to make it quiet for five minutes? |

We went to a farm for our summer hol's and the roosters were always awake and crowing way before sun up |
