1 month old Coturnix crowing LOUD!

Actually 3.5 weeks is no surprise for them to start crowing. I have two male cots right now that have stopped crowing. I kinda miss it already.

I don't know of any cots that can be trained when to crow. How loud they should crow. Or even to get them to stop crowing in the middle of the night. I have noticed by putting black cloth over their pens during transport and making it totally dark they tend to quiet up some. They also seem to get real quiet just before going to camp.

Best of wishes to ya.

They can crow at night, too? Hmm. Any tips for keeping them outside, penned for the summer, in a small residential area (cots are fine, high noise levels aren't..)? May have to stuff the boys indoors otherwise.

we have one male who crows about three or four times about 7:30 in the morning after the sun is up
he has a distinct sound but really is no louder than the other random chirps and calls from all the wild birds around.
I wouldnt worry about the noise... he has nothing on a big rooster crowing lol
