Novice question about cockerels

[redinator]

My two 16 week cockerels have started having a crowing competitions. I don't mind it during the day, it's just the wee hours of the morning that it's unbearable.

I'm looking for another option other than culling them. I've listed both on multiple sites for free rehoming and no takers (it's been a week).

Would covering the run do they can't see the sunrise stop the early morning crowing? I go let them out at 8am and my neighbors are usually off to work by then. If I could stop the pre-dawn/early morning crowing I might be able to keep them.

They're barnyard mixes and both good boys, which makes the idea of culling them without a good reason difficult.
