Mod Note
I may move this to Animals & Pets or Smallholding, but will leave it here for now.

As for the topic in question.
Young cocks often crow all night. also cocks respond to other cocks and may hear another a mile away. Other things can set them off.
In an urban area it may seem like dusk at any time of night.

I don't believe its set in stone that cocks crow at dawn. While many do, there are plenty that don't
