    Chickens apparently have no internal clock. Darkness puts them to sleep, light wakes them up. Maybe some kind of artificial light is keeping a night crower from sleeping.

    Whenever a rooster crow it always sees a light. Maybe headlight of cars are the cause. At the middle of the night, try to focus a flashlight unto its eyes. it will surely crow.

    Roosters crow whenever they are awake. I had roosters on two sides of a house I lived in and they crowed morning noon and night (all night). It is very annoying.

    Roosters, as the leader of the flock, crow to signal danger to the flock. Perhaps there was mouse in the coop, or a fox outside or a bat flying close. I used to have chickens and the rooster would crow anytime of the day or night.

    if a rooster crows at the middle of the night, it indicates an approaching disaster at no given time, it might be on that day, the coming days, even months or the following year.
