Help my rooster started crowing

[Lacy Duckwing]

So recently my rooster started crowing. And I was wondering how to keep him to be more quiet or stop him from crowing? Since where I live is like close to neighbours and I don’t want them to hear. Any solutions? Because I don’t want to give him away

Maybe you could talk to your neighbors about your rooster. Unless roosters are not aloud in your neighborhood, they might be ok with it.

There recently was a member on here that posted of having a rooster collar on her rooster and it died from it in a really tragic sad way.
It would be best to re-home your rooster.

Agreed... but only if you can get a good home for it. The neighbors are probably going to hear. Hoping you figure it out!

If you use a no crow collar, don't buy the one from My Pet Chicken. It's too narrow and doesn't work that well. Make your own, but be sure that it's at least 2-3 inches wide, because it has to cover a large area. There are plenty of videos on making them. I made one for mine and it really diminished the volume, but no collar will completely stop the crowing.
I finally had to rehome mine, because he was too aggressive with the hens.

I'm having the same issue. I purchased 3 chicks and a duck and was told they would grow to be hens. Now all 3 turned out to be roos and they literally take turns crowing. Loudly i might add. And im so worried that eventually someone os going to complain. Maybe even call the cops on me if u figure it out let me know!

The only solid way to prevent crowing would be to remove vocal cords, which is a terrible risk and just a terrible thing to do. Collars aren't guaranteed to work.

The safest way to ensure that you don’t get in trouble for keeping illegal roosters is to not keep them. Find someone who will take them off your hands, then look for birds old enough that you can know their gender.

You could always try thick layers on sound proofing?

Yeah...thats not an option. I wouldn't do that to my babiess luckily my father in law has a friend with a ranch sitting on 4acres. He has plenty of space along with a huge flock and most importantly coops he puts them in at night. Hes a real ranchero lol and he said we can stop by to visit them whenever we want. I'm very happy with my decision to rehome them.

This is so frustrating. And sad, too. I’m sorry you’re having to go through it.

How about returning them to the person who sold them to you as pullets?

Pretty sure OP got rid of the roosters. Awhile back.
