Guest Countryboyo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Is there any way of keeping a cock and avoiding the early morning crowing? maybe locking them in at night? would this prevent it or maybe there are less noisy breeds????? CB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Countryboyo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 lock them in at night mate it worked for me Did he not crow or could you just not hear him because he was locked in? would I have to block light from entering the henhouse to stop him crowing in the morning?

As if not enough it can lead to serious health problems. With summer on the way this is even more important. You can just take the cock in at night after it has roosted. Keep it in a box somewhere where noise wont be a problem then let him out at a more sociable hour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest smelly nelly Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 So restrict the light but NOT ventilation or remove the cock to somewhere dark/quiet and sound insulated till a more acceptable time, restricting the head room sometimes help. Also is there any cockerals anywhere at all near you? If your cockeral hears another he will make more noise, to compete. Bantams are a lot shriller generally, a bit more grating, i would go for a docile breed not a game bird. But there are no definatly quieter breeds, each cock seems to be an individual. But people are allways giving them away 'free to good home' and often they have a few they want to get rid of, so ask the person in there opinion which is the quitest and if it turns out to not be eat him and look for the next one to go on trial. I have an Indian game cockeral, ideal for crosing for table birds, and allthough he a game bird hes a bit more of a docile lump than most other game breeds. He crows a bit, but hes not too loud and not too often. But the most surefire way i would say if you can be 4rsed is to take him in at night after hes roosted. If you put him somewhere where noise is not a problem he can crow till his hearts content. Cheers Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
