I was doing the kennel under the house routine, but lately they 've decided 1:30 is a good time to crow. Before they were crowing at 5:30. I don't know what's changed, but I know my neighbor talks when they crow before 5 thats why i started putting them under the house at night.

We can still hear them under the house but we are up at 5 so its no biggie. 1:30 is a biggie

Cork board enclosure around the dog kennel should sound proof a bit.

Oh man. I need one of those. Awesome, I'm jealous. Did you buy or build?
I've got some boys inside and under my house. I keep the lights on them till 11 or so at night then they are in complete darkness afterwards. Keeps them quiet till around 8 am. Just gotta change up their sleep patterns. You might be able to do the same with yours if you have a garage or shed to put them in.

Bought it from my neighbor who custom built it for me. He has up cycled some entertainment cabinets into brooders, I asked if he could do that with a shelf and he said it would be easier to build so he did.

Hi,
I was wondering if I could get advice on my two boys that are becoming louder and my neighbor's opinions are too. I can't process or eat them. The collar doesn't work. I have a baby,2 roosters and a neighbor that keep me and my conscious up all night. I'm sorry I'm rambling, I just need a few good hours of painless sleep and some help on this subject. Thank you.

I live within city restrictions and roosters are a no no, you will sleep better and so will your neighbor, sometimes its not the right time. I personaly am very sensitive to noise, my neighbor's dog barking makes me very anxious, my body shakes every time he barks non-stop. Some people are more sensitive to noise than others. My opinion sadly will be, for your sake and the others, find them another home. (Btw, i bought rawhide bones for the dog and whenever he starts barking I throw a bone at him and he gets busy chewing).

I thought hatching sex-linked chicks would make it easier to give up the cockerels, but no. I sold the pullets but I have totally bonded with one of the little cockerels. He is such a sweetheart! Gonna be so hard to give him up.

If you're intent on keeping them, search the forum for "rooster boxes".

Wow, that search brings up some really interesting stuff. Certainly looks like a process to build them, but I bet it would be a great alternative for those who's "oopsters" have become pets. Very neat.

Hey all! So, I have hand tamed quail & I was wondering if anyone would be interested in sales or trades for hatching eggs. They're really pretty & sweet quail & I figured I would check around Sacramento area. PM me if any interest.

These are the parents. The youngsters are at the oldest 5 weeks old. I have more in the brooder & more eggs due to hatch.
