Mini coop for one?

[Sarasarasara222]

I know this sort of leeks into two categories but i have a rooster that crows wy too much like every minute especially in early mornings and we tried this thing where we had put him in the shed for the night in a cge, felt really bad about this but this was my final option but i don't want to do it again, however it did mute his crows even though he still did crow so my final solution would be would it be possible to make a home for one just for one rooster where he just will sleep and i want to make this comfortable and safe for him.

It doesn't sound like any way for a rooster to live. Confined spaces isn't good for chickens as they create a lot of moisture during respiration. A small confined box could cause all kinds of health problems.

I don't think it's humane to isolate a social animal. Roosters mean crowing. I think it's quite a pretty sound. It would be kinder to re-home than to pen him up.

Okay I needed to confirm to see if it was the right thing thank you for your replies

To be clear, it sounds like you're thinking of isolating him only in the overnight hours. Is that correct? If so, there is nothing inhumane about having him sleep in his own secure quarters during the overnight hours.

True, but, it might not solve this problem....
....needs ventilation, but that will let the sound out.
Wonders what the problem really is....not allowed roosters maybe?

Yes i just wanted to isolate him for the night ina darker area in the hopes that he will crow a little later than the usual 5 am

Are you thinking of building it to be located in the shed for you have housed him in the cage?

Have you thought about using a crow collar?
Here's one example:
