    Need some advice on coop design

    Hi, I'm building my first coop and had some questions about crow control. First method I've read about is keeping the rooster in the dark until later in the morning so he doesn't wake up the neighborhood at 4am. What I've read says you need to black out all light sources. Is this true? Even...
