hi, does anyone know how to keep a roo quiet without having to lock him in a box?
I accidentally got a roo and didn't find out till last week he wasn't a hen. I really don't want to re home him because he's so sweet, but im not supposed to keep a rooster in the area I live. so I think keeping him quiet may let me be able to keep him a little longer.

this is a picture of him when he was standing on top of the coop:)

Sorry I don't think there is any REAL way to keep them quiet. If any of the suggestions, gimmicks and surgery really worked, the people behind them would be filthy rich.

Kind of like all the diets out there., I'm still trying the "lose weight in your sleep," deal - I guess its about 40 years trying and still not working for me. Darn!
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided join our flock. You can try a no-crow rooster collar (http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Chicken-Supplies/No-Crow-Rooster-Collar-p1580.aspx). BYC members have used them with varying results. The only guaranteed way of keeping a rooster quiet is to put him in the chicken soup pot or in the chicken pot pie. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your rooster.
 
I was wondering about the no crow band from My Pet Chicken. I was wondering how it worked.
My grandpa told me to save my money and go get new chicks. ;)
 
they crow in the morning to take a head count to find out if any chickens were lost or killed during the night, it is part of their job as a rooster , even if there was an empty coop. bees defend their hive even if the hive is gone. these type of animals are not lazy they do there job no mater if we like it or not.

Roosters don't just crow in the morning. They will crow any time, day or night for a number of different reasons; chief among those reasons is announcing their dominant possession of a territory.
 
Welcome to BYC!

If you aren't supposed to have a rooster where you live, it might be better for you and the bird to re-home him as soon as possible. He can finish growing up in a place where he can crow all he wants and you will have less attachment/investment in him.

x2 on @Michael OShay 's comment...they will crow any time of day.

Good luck to you no matter what course of action you take!
