Serious Squawking

The ladies are starting to get annoying.  We just moved to a new neighborhood -- before I really only had one neighbor, as I was on a corner, and had a wide alley behind us.  Now we're packed in with people on either side, and someone behind us, with a narrower alley.

The ladies wake up at about 6am or so, and start to get rowdy shortly after wanting to get let out.  I get really stressed in the morning when they start squawking and I think it bothers the neighbors.  However our bedroom is right near their cage, and I suppose if the neighbors bedrooms aren't at the back of the house, it might be ok???  We go to dinner with a bunch of the neighbors in a couple weeks, so I suppose I'll ask then.  But in the meantime, it stresses me out.

Our latest experiment is that we've closed off the henhouse (inside their cage), after they go in it at night.  So now they can't come out of the henhouse and down the ladder, to the fenced in area, until we let them.  1)  This blocks off alot of light, and may make them sleep more, and 2)  hopefully they'll just stay quiet till we let them down?

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd listen.....
