How to keep a cockerel quiet

[pigeongirl1]

I have a silver laced cockerel who is verry loud. I am hoping to be able to keep him if i can keep the noise dow he is currently at the state fair for a week. Any ideas on how to keep him quiet when i bring him home?

He's a cockerel - he makes noise, it's what they do.

You can try a "no-crow" collar, but in my experience they only reduce the volume by 50%.

Roosters crow sometimes when something's wrong or he feels his hens are unsafe.

Any animals or predators?
Like dogs or cats (roos think these are a threat)

Me neither. I grow out a cock bird, breed from him and then eat him. I'd love to be able to keep one, but I prefer not to risk the ire of my neighbours and have to remove the whole flock just because of one bird.

Sticking him a crockpot will quiet him.

That seems to be my best option at this point i was trying to avoid eating him but i would rather get rid of him than all my birds. Thanks for the help
