Has anyone used or heard of sleep box for rooster ? I'm sorry it's for very early crowing. Rooster goes' in at night and gets let out in morning .

To keep him warm in the winter? or more comfortable, or separate him from the rest of the flock? What is your reasoning for wanting this.Has anyone used or heard of sleep box for rooster ?
Its a box to help with the early crowing. You put rooster in at night and bring out in morning.What? Like a dog house or a milk crate or are you thinking of a huddle box?

Personally I use roosting ledge, not a rail/bar; I removed the roosting bars last March due to fighting over who sleeps where, my silkies would get knocked off the roost. Since I put in the ledge all on one level I have had a huge reduction in squabbling, and it's an easy couple minute cleanup each morning, I sprinkle some shavings on the ledge after I pick poops and voila - done! I am also noting that now that it's cold my kiddos will huddle together in their preferred groups to sleep. Maybe this will work for you also.
Interesting theory, if you try it please let me know how it worked. I hung a KFC sign in the hen house but the Roos didn’t get the hintIt doesn't have to be a box, per se. It needs to have a low ceiling. If the rooster can't reach his head up, he won't crow. That is the theory. I'm not sure it works with all breeds.
