My suburban rescued boys also go in sleep boxes ... I use classic plastic storage tubs (inverted with the lids for the bottom) with vent holes cut all around using a box cutter, stackable too ... neatly stacked in a large closet with a fan on their boxes to increase ventilation/circulation .... lids also make for easy cleaning & dog cage pad/liners make it even easier. I used to cut doors/door flaps but have found it easier just to open the lid and they walk out (on their own) much happier. When the sun sets, they line up at the back door, begging to come in. They also go out around 9am (for the neighbor's sake(s)). ... ps. the storage tubs are big enough for large roosters to flap and move about, like a mini apartment-compartment. Everyone is happy, -the boys, us and the neighbors.
I'm so grateful for your video and outlook on roos! I'm inspired! I'm a former veterinary technician so my heart is always exploding with love and appreciation for all animals. We have around 40 hens and now 9 roos! We live in a rural, agricultural town so roos are allowed with no limit. While most of our neighbors don't mind or don't hear our boys, we do have immediate neighbors that are concerned for the warmer weather months when their windows will remain open at night. I've been wracking my brain since last year on how to limit the noise. I can't fathom getting rid of them. I love each one and I take full responsibility for them being here. An insulated, dark roo coop is in order where the roos are let out later than the girls. A roo flock has already taken shape where they will be kept separate and far from the ladies.
Really glad this will help you out - it certainly works well. :)
Hi, I just wanted to say a huge thank you!! We have tried collars before and it just felt wrong, we were about to give our two roo silkies back to the breeder and swop them for two ladies when I stumbled across your idea.
For the last two weeks our boys have been inside the house during the night and while it's great to see them in the morning (and they don't make a mess on the towel in the spare room) they are very vocal at 4am!
We have all the boys and girls as pets and were upset at losing them, I saw your video less than 24 hours before they were due to go.
They are in a very large plastic rabbit cage with a towel in an outbuilding...... we can hear no noise at all and it's magic. They go quiet and we get to keep them here.
So grateful for your post !!!
Hope avian flu stays away and thanks again!
I’m trying it tonight. Hope it will work, or I’ll have to get rid of him. He such a good rooster otherwise.
Thanks for this! Never mind the neighbours, my 2 young boys kept me from sleeping as the run is right under my bedroom window. I set up an old ferret cage in the back of our shed, put a proper perch in and covered the cage with a blanket. Haven't heard them yet, and they're sleepy and grumpy when I get them out in the morning. Love it :)
🤠👍
Great video. I have two Brahma roos who crow at all hours but we are very isolated in the country and so doesn't bother me. If I am out in wee hours bottle feeding lambs I can even hear them snoring which is so sweet. Those sleep boxes look great and plenty of room especially since they are SLEEPING not out roaming. I let mine go to bed at night then close the door otherwise they are out all the time. They do not have water in the coop as they are only in there because they are SLEEPING. People with chickens know what is cruel and what isn't and your animals look health and happy. Thank you for posting.
Thank you, I appreciate your comment so much. I wouldn't be without my roosters. But I don't want to upset neighbours either. This is a compromise that causes me more work than anything...the roosters are perfectly happy at night.
💯
Given that it’s the height restriction that helps contain loud crowing, I think the cat box for you large white rooster is too small. He should have more floor space. He can’t even stretch out his legs in that tiny box. How does he manage with preening and stretching his wings.
5:14 who is the little black rooster his clucking is so cute and high-pitched. Love it.
Thank you for this precious info. Helped a lot
Great video. Thanks for making. Will give this a try.
No worries. Definitely try it. I still get the odd crow - especially when they hear me in the kitchen, but it's definitely NOT that 30 minutes of cockle-doodle-do at 4.30am.

A gun usually works well for me
Thank you so much I have two roosters and they are so loud this helped a lot thanks again
I have a really lovely, kind cockerel who's nearing maturity, I really don't want to have to rehome him cause he's pretty much my best bud now lol He's very gentle with the hens and pretty much flies into my arms every morning. I will be giving the sleeping box a try!
I do this too. I'm so excited that I'm not the only one
Funny, I have an accidental rooster (got 6 young hens, one wasn't a hen....) and I've been doing this exact same thing since he started to crow. I like the sound of him crowing but I'm not allowed a rooster in town and haven't found him a safe country home yet, so he comes inside in his cat carrier each night and goes back out to the girls around 8am once he stops crowing. I asked my neighbours recently and they said they didn't even know I had a rooster!
Thank you so much! Great idea!
I woke up at 3:30 am hearing my bantam rooster crowing- I have 5 of them. Thank you for this idea, I am going to try it.
Long time chicken owner from America here...searching for new ideas at 4:00AM as our 2 young roosters have been carrying on for hours outdoors in the thick of the night. 😕 I swear, roosters impulsively respond to the sound of another rooster crowing, like a neurological tic, because our roosters have only behaved this way when we've had multiple roosters. During the years when we've had only one rooster, the rooster would signal to the flock a reasonable number of times a day -- he never carried on & on. He'd crow before he moves, as if to say, "C'mon, lets go! I'm on the move!" & periodically as they chicjens would free range throughout the day, as if to say, "I'm over here, everybody! Stay close for protection." 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for the idea! 💖
This is an excellent video !
Neighbor's rooster crows all day long. It's easier to not get annoyed at night when I wear earplugs.
I have a rooster but the whole neighborhood can hear him crowing at 6 am
How can I politely say, " your god damn roster is killing my serinity, shut it up, please & thank-you "
My dad has roosters and they are mad loud and they are next to my window
Thank you so much for this video 🙏I was so worried when my little Silkie rooster starts crowing - the neighbours would insist I get rid 😥 I would've tried a collar first, but this is a MUCH better idea. My chickens prefer to be cosy at night anyway, they have plenty of room to flap about in the garden in the day-time. I've recently added Silkies to my rescues - I don't understand negative comments when you obviously love your chooks and are looking after them so well - It's NOT easy! 👍🐔🐤💛
People like to criticise! And thanks...honestly, they are perfectly happy in a box overnight. Silkie boys can be LOUD so definitely worth taking the time to keep him quiet.
@@BrimwoodFarm people do definitely LOVE to criticize- ESPECIALLY ON CZcams. I can tell how much you care for your flock from just this one video. I have 4 right now, so I couldn't imagine keeping dozens happy like you do. Keep up the amazing work.
Now that I have two solutions to keep my rooster quiet now to convince my parents to keep him or their going to give him away
Edit: welp I couldn't convince them but at least he is going to a farm in Maine
This definitely works, I used to do this
Nah I thought that Eddie was gonna be small like the others but when I saw him going into that cat cage he was big he barely fit in the cat cage 😭😂
Thank you so much for this video! I've tried the velcro collar, velcro not the one you buy specifically for that, and the velcro put scabs on the neck and I never knew how tight to make it. I like your method because it doesn't take away from the rooster. It only keeps you from hearing the crowing at night. Which was my problem with the roosters I had. Again thank you!
Yes, not a fan of cockerel collars for the exact reason you mention.
I also dislike the collars. I'd rather put in a few minutes of exercise carrying them into a sound-proofed room every night.
The "wee house" looks pretty insulated. In Seattle when it was illegal to have any chickens or roosters we built our hen house with insulation. Very quiet.
This will be great for my little Lakenvelder babu!
After video:
.... I can’t get that
I don’t even have a rooster I don’t know how I get here
This breaks my heart..I have to give my buttercup rooster to a lady who is going to be perfect for him, tomorrow. I can own roosters where I live and I loved hearing him crow and watch him. He was a sweet boy. But I'll be updated on him.
I used to get up at 4:30 in the morning, take my 5 roosters (someone stole my 6th one, thinking they were taking a hen, but got him instead - good luck to that person) anyway, I would put them in dog crates in the garage where they were unheard by the neighboring farms. I would go back to bed until 6. Worked out great, as we couldn't even hear them from the house.
OK that little peep that rooster makes at 5:11 is freaking adorable
Very logical!
And it works wonders!
Our neighbors raise "range chickens". They don't really even own these, since the owner of the property has not yet moved to the house there, so they rent it out to others until they retire and move in here. This means the chickens and roosters also hop over into our yard, and the roosters crow! at all hours! often right outside our bedroom window!
I was really hoping there was something we could feed these roosters, or other humane way to keep them quiet at night. If anyone out there knows of something we might try, please comment!
If theyre crowing at night its cuz you either have light on them or they hear something lurking around. Id check on those first before seperating theyre just doing their job. Obviously some birds are just assholes and will crow
Alright this might piss some off but when I was a kid back in Queensland my parents would give our roosters toothpaste (the mild kid toothpaste) to keep them from crowing. I have NOT tried it myself nor do I want to
Really? and that worked? How strange!
How does that work? Do you just make them eat it?
I’m Australian too and l live in Queensland too haha
I wish my neighbours were as courteous as yours. I cannot even have roosters if they only crow during the day.
I was very lucky with them,.
Might be a better idea than those Rooster collars? I am a bit nervous about using them on my Silkies. I'll try out these Sleep Boxes. Thanks!
Great video friend! I'm in Michigan in a city they don't allow Roosters- but I'd sooner move then give up my special little guy. I bought what was supposed to be 4 "sexed chicks" from our big chain store (tractor supply company) but one ended up being a rooster. I know no sexing is garuenteed, but after raising him since spring I'm not going to give him away just bc of a few cock-a-doodle-dos. Urban Farming has too many restrictions, especially for people like me who have absolutely amazing neighbors who's kids all come and feed the chickens. I'm the one who doesn't like the early morning noise lol.
May I ask why you have so many roosters? I got 3 in March and 2 turned out to be roosters. I love them but they crow and I can’t keep them!
Now my question is how to get my neighbor to actually do this. They have two roos and they start at 4 am....all morning long. Actually seems to be all day all night here and there.
Thank you so much for this tip!!! I will try this and maybe I will be able to keep our little Silkie rooster Freckles this way. Again, thank you so much for this great idea!
How do you shut up a neighbor's 20 plus roosters. When you live right on the edge of legal zoning. Shooting them is starting a bad situation.
Yeah, that's a bad situation. I always try to be considerate of neighbours, which is why I box mine. Have you had a talk with them?
Mike Tatjes pay him 10 dollars a weak or something
Mike Tatjes, 20 Roosters, This sounds like he is raising cock fighters, Let the naibourhod know. Ask for authority too check for injured and wounded bird's.
Jack Duffy no one likes a little bitch who’s a snitch and is all over peoples business
File a noise complaint with animal services. After several complaints they’ll have to get rid of them.
Good idea. Are those all bantys? I'm trying a no crow collar on my one banty rooster and it hasn't worked so far, trying with different widths but his neck seems too short to get it just right on him.
Most are banty's. I have one large fowl - that's Eddie the Ixworth but the others are all little smaller.
I, too, have a rooster named Bruce! He's a Serama mix, and he lives in the house with me. I cover his cage at night and he's quiet. But during the day, he can get really noisy. Any tips for that?
Bruce looks alittle ragged, is he molting? I have chickens and I didn't want a rooster but I was given 3 young pullets (I thought) one ended up being a rooster..Royal or Roy. I'll try the cat box tonight. Crowing at 4:30am has gotta stop
There's one near me cock-a-doodle-do's every 30 seconds from 5am until 8pm every day.
How on Earth does its voice box withstand that kind of constant use?
The room you put the crate is it ventilated if so how
Hi there I have a huge problem with my one silkie rooster he is sooooo loud I’ve put a rooster collar on i have put him in the shed and he gets even more louder I realy need help as the hole of my area is complaining
One day make a tour of your chicken coop's all (even the quail too).
Hello at the very start of this video you have a white chicken behind your left shoulder I’ve just inherited one of those chickens could you please tell me what breed it is and how to tell when it’s a boy or a girl thank you so much I’ve had it for about a week now and I’ve not had an egg so I don’t And also it doesn’t Crow hoping you can please tell me
How do you keep your roosters together so that they don't fight?
I would hate to be your neighbor
They are soo cute, mineis not crowing yet, but I work nigths so i cant do this
Is there any chemical or medicine whicch can dump their sound permanently
Interesting, however think the cat box for the large white rooster is too small. He does look rather cramped in there.
hi my hens are too loud cant you help for less noise tx
Would this work for quail roosters? I suspect it may?
Do you think that larger roosters all together like that would be a problem?
Where are you at?
this is a great Idea but my rooster is so big. I hope he'll get into some box of a cat carriar
It riles the hell out of me to hear peoples dogs barking all day , early mornings and at night and defecating on peoples lawns and the streets but local authorities do nothing about it but if you have one single rooster you are public enemy number 1 . It is such discrimination against poultry owners and needs to be taken to the high court by someone . A rooster crowing even a 4:00 am is a lot less annoying than a dog barking for hours on end . I have never heard of a rooster attacking and killing a child but many dogs have done that . I don't see any roosters roaming the streets defecating and fouling public places and threatening to attack anyone . There is a big imbalance here on how roosters are treated by the law as compared to dogs , based on the impact and potential impacts they have on society . Need to start a new society , " Roosters Rights " and start petitioning Government to change the laws to be fairer . People can have a whole pack of savage mongrel dogs in their yard but I can't have 1 rooster . it's wrong .
I agree with you so much! I live in Norway and it's almost impossible to find a place to live with my 3 creme legbar roosters, except for very distant rural areas. And there's lots of people with barking dogs everywhere.
I did this for my rooster and the neighbour still said he was getting woken up at 2am to the council and he wasn't even crowing, I think my neighbour is a twat because he called the fire brigade when my brazier was going , he said smoke went in his garden , I just can't wait to get away from him, he harassed me since my son died 3yrs ago
Back in my country Philippines they allow and embrace rooster crowing they are prized fighters. I went back and i couldn't stand the non stop crowing it drove me insane. I think a quite box of some sort is a good solution.
This will not work for me I live on Maui and I have at least 60 to 70 chickens 20 roosters these roosters are wild domesticated and they start crowing at 2:30 in the morning
Roosters from neighbor starting crown from 4.30a.m. non-stop whole day long and will only stop at 7.30p.m. That is going to drive me crazy. Any method to stop it?
Get rid of them.
Do you not put the frizzle rooster away in the layer flock?
No, he's really quiet and hardly crows at all!
I was told my frizzle rooster wasnt very vocal... Get him home and starts up right away... I have one neighbor not happy and other neighbors enjoy them like I do. Go figure.
👍👍👍
yeah so this is no help for me have a neighbor with 4 roosters that start crowing around 4-4:30am and even with a fan going and ear plugs in they still wake me up the idea of him doing jack all to help is funny we spend enough times getting his cows out of our fields and back over in their fields
Just need to use no rooster crow collar
Dose this work for hens I got 4 hens and one acts like a male
It would work for hens too...it's basically simulating a longer night period.
I am sick to death of the noise.. So irritating! There are lots of wild loose ones running around in Barbados. Are your neighbours happy?
Don't they need food or water overnight then? X
+lucy hart No - technically they should be asleep. ;) the same as your hens go to roost at dusk in their coop and wake at dawn to eat/drink, the roosters are okay overnight.
Brimwood Farm cool it's a really good idea, I have 10 chicks which I don't know the sex of yet so just trying to see what my options are if I have Roos x
+lucy hart Yeah, it's hard when you rear chicks. Have to have plans for any little cockerels.
I.stayed at a Bed and Breakfast where a neighbor had a rooster who crowed inteittently ALL NIGHT LONG! Nobody could sleep.
The law should require removing rooster vocal cords because the no crow collars only.partially work. Or ban all roosters in residential zones. Doing nothing to stop roosters from crowing is the.equivalent of shitting on your meighbors.
You mean a hotel
My parents have a rooster that crows all day and he lives right outside my bedroom window. I am going insane and no one cares 🙃
Try stir fried after marinating in vinegar and black pepper
Put him on a grill with BBQ sauce
I'd get out of the house. All day in a bedroom can contribute to your neurosis.
A good method i have i had to give my rooster away today cause of my neighbour
Not because of your neighbour. Because of your rooster crowing- which your neighbours objected to. Not trying to be funny, just looking at it from the other side and yes I keep poultry.
It’s the right thing to do. Some people work night shifts and that’s just flat out rude on your part not to care if someone else is annoyed. And it’s understandable, they are irritating as hell and make it impossible to relax. I promise your rooster didn’t care about you 😂
Good, you should’ve had some fucking consideration for others.
Hi. Great video.
If I kept roosters in dark coop with hens would that work if I let them all out together at 7.30 a.m.?
That should work. The main principle is making sure they still think it's night.
Brimwood Farm thanks. I'll give it a go as I'm not too keen on being woken up at 5a.m. by our young roosters who are just starting to crow 😁
Mine quiet down a lot right before you deep fry them....ha ha
😂😂😂😂 yummy!!!
I got a few ideas but im sure u dont wanna here them...
my neighbour is raising a rooster... i swear to god my life is hell
I've talked to him 4 times by now to fucking kill it and he keeps ignoring me
GOD PLS HELPPPPPPPPPPP I AM SUFFERING
How do you stop a rooster from crowing on a Sunday?
........
......
EAT IT ON A SATURDAY!! 😂😂
Pig
When i want my rooster to shut the hell up I let him out at night so the coyotes will eat him.
iether a collar or sleep box... im not asking 4 perfection... but ... !!! not funny.... i dont wanna hate my neibours but ... dang rooster all day and all throught the entire night, as lowd as a train and constantly... plz ppl... controle ur birds... and dogs too...
just cuz ur in the country dont mean its ok to let ur dogs rome. without training ur animals u become the nuisance... not u animals. thats how dogs go missing and roosters become someones dinner. ;)
is is possible to have a vet cut their vocal cords?
What some people waist their life doing amazes me.
Ha Haa!
@Never Gonnatell lol
Thats torture
The True Gamer not its not dumbass
The True Gamer you put dogs in crates but not roosters?
TheUtahraptor Channel I don't have any dogs and I wouldn't put dogs in crates
The True Gamer you must be a NATZI environmental vegan!
You talk to much. The question is how do we keep a roster from crowing all day? JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION. WE DO NOT NEED A WHOLE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF CHICKENS AND ROSTERS
It's my channel, I'll talk as much as I like. You, on the other hand DO NOT HAVE TO WATCH SO MOVE ALONG.
If you want to keep 5 roosters move somewhere with no neighbor's. Such selfish behaviour should be illegal
My neighbours aren't bothered and I take steps to keep the noise down so I think that's the opposite of selfish.
Don't live in an area that is zoned to allow roosters. That's equally selfish.
@@MsSoul2013 what are you talking about? That logic. It's the same as saying if the neighbour has their dogs outside barking all day and night and then telling someone if they complain "Hey bro, don't live where dogs are allowed". Get a grip on reality and I would recommend you to expand your empathy to other people than yourself. I want to have a shooting range on my property and I could; but I don't because I know it would upset my neighbours.
Live in a remote place without neighbours if you want to bother everyone with your personal preferences.
If everyone thought and acted like you no one could live beside anyone...
@@Hellmo1337 I know right. Some people you just can’t reason with. It amazes me how inconsiderate and dumb people can be lmao
Just tape the mouth shut.
Stop keep barking and come to the point........
Stop watching and go see someone else's videos.
