When I had cockerels in a town where I lived I used a cockerel collar, it quietens them down to an acceptable level and does no harm to the bird.

Where are you?I need a Rooster, wished I could get him and that would solve both our problems!
Check your local feed stores. Some of them will take roos. We have one near us whom, for three dollars, will take your roo, put him in a cage and people can come in and take them. The turnover is very fast.I’m not sure where to post this, sorry if this isn’t the right place. But I have a 7 week old Olive Egger cockerel. He did a cute little baby voice CHICK A DOODLE DOO this morning. Not loud, but it was obvious. We cannot have roosters where we live. I have posted him on Craigslist, various local chicken/farm groups on FB, and MeWe. The humane society here doesn’t take “livestock”. I do not know what to do with this bird. I’d rather if he didn’t go to someone that was going to eat him (he’s so small anyway), but I’m getting desperate. I did find a rooster rescue group, but they require you to forfeit your entire flock and sign a contract saying you’ll never get more chickens and basically commit to being vegan . I know lots of folks on here have ended up with accidental cockerels - what did you end up doing?

We don’t have milkmen in US.Have you asked your milkman if he knows anyone that will have him or any local petting farms.
Do you have a live stock auction nearby? We take ours the auction to keep from killing them. Also we have used collars to reduce the loud loud cock a doodle doo, but it only reduces it will not eliminate it. I also wouldn't recommend it for a growing cockrel.I’m not sure where to post this, sorry if this isn’t the right place. But I have a 7 week old Olive Egger cockerel.
