Hormone in roo

[Coffgirl]

Is it possible to reduce male hormone or get rid of it from the roo by medication or surgery?

I was spoiling my roo way too much and cause my hen is not that attatched to me like before.

So now I set her cage next to my work space but not my roo because i dont have space for 2 cages to be there.

So while i am trying to gain my trust back from my hen, my roo never stop crowing all day literally for a week now.
And that’s really a problem because my job need a lot of focus and silence but now I keep hearing his crowing all day and night.

I don’t want to cull him or eat him to fix it. And giving him to other sounds unresponsible and they would suffer from his crowing as well.

I love him but this is too much for my sanity.. even it’s expensive I wanna try if there’s hope.

Thank you

Do you have other hens, he may need more hens to keep him occupied? If she is his only hen he is lonely. Roosters crow that is thier job to communicate with the flock. Some roosters like to hear the song of their people more than others. Truly there is no humane way to stop it. Many people like the sound of crowing and are not bothered by it, I would try to find him a home on a farm if it is disruptive to you.

I forgot. Yes roosters can be capon reducing testosterone. It is usually done to keep meat tender on roosters meant for eating or to curb aggression. I don’t think it will stop crowing (not sure) because crowing is a communication like dog barking. I have heard even hens can crow.

Crowing sometimes like in the morning and evening is fine.
But all the time almost 24 hours like once per 5 minuites are too much.
And I only have 1 hen so far.
I’m raising their babies those are 2 female.. but I dont know if 3 hens would satisfy him.
And my place has pretty tiny space to have enough quails for him.

I’d be happy if someone who has a lot of hens for him would adopt him, he would have better life.

I live in Thailand and most prople just raise them for food, I dont want anyone to eat him.

Forgot to tell, he’s quite aggressive too and was trying to kill my hen so I separated them.

Without hens he’s going to be crowing constantly. I don’t think there’s much you can do without him having access to some girlfriends.

but he's trying to kill the hen..
I'm waiting for the babies to grow and put him back in but if he still tried to kill them, I don't know what I can do anymore.

3 hens will not be enough he will over breed them, this may be what he is doing to your hen. Proper rooster to hen ratio is minimum of 1:10 with some rooster maybe more. unfortunately if he is aggressive the best thing for all involved would for him to be eaten. An aggressive rooster can be dangerous, if he truly is trying to kill your hen that is not acceptable and he will do it with them all. This is just my opinion. How old is he and what breed?

1:10 is fine of course, but fertility of eggs will be lower if you care about that and it sounds like 11 birds is not an option for the OP. I aim for 1:4 myself, and a good roo won't beat up the girls at that ratio.

Keep in mind too that you don't want to give the new females to him until they are completely mature.

damn.. I wish I had more space for I can get him more girls.
