What can I do about my Bantam cochin cockeral? He starts crowing at 10:00PM, and just keeps crowing and crowing 20-30 times in a row! And he crows in the middle of the night; two, three, four 'o clock in the morning even.
We can sleep through him, but I bet the neighbors don't appreciate it. I haven't been over there to talk to them about it yet, to ask them if they can even hear him, but their house is on their property line, and is only about a hundred yards from our house. I will get rid of him if I have to, because who wants to listen to 20-30 rooster crows at 10 at night, 3 in the morning, and then again at 5:30, but I would appreciate any advice on how to get him to stop if possible.
I don't want to get rid of him unless I absolutely have to. He's really pretty, though he's a pain in the rear end, and I am currently working with him using Rooster-red's rooster behavioral modification plan, so if that happens to not work, I will have to get rid of him.
Selling him, re-homing him, and eating him are last resorts.
