Hopefully you will have success - have you considered boxing him inside yr house - maybe the laundry?? [so as not to annoy the neighbours] Most councils only 'bully' you if the noise is between 8pm and 7am [as workmen can make all the noise they want from 7am to 8pm - neumatic hammers and all]
you could try covering the box with a dark coloured towel as well to simulate the night longer - but if he has a penchant for crowing at 3 4 or 5am he may continue to do so regardless.

I only got this one today so i'm not really sure what hes going to do yet :-? bet i can have a good guess [smilie=a_makeitstop.gif]

I've left him in his cage tonight just to see what happens in the morning, i have a feeling theres no sleeping in for me :roll: then i'll try the nest box thats been converted, if that doesn't work its definatley under the house in the garage for him ;)

:shock: :-D notice how I totally ignored that post from agaff4 Kylie??
Now THAT is totally amazing for me = I'm usually the one to go off topic!! :roll:
Anyways - the garage - yep - that would work - if you make the nesting area/box out of double brick with small breather holes there definitely wont be any noise heard until you bring him out!! Thats what we did! Worked a treat - excluding that neighbour 2 doors down of course :roll:

Oh I love our 45 acres that we have now :-D

I felt bad locking him in last night, he would have had a huge day travelling. :roll: i'm a sucker [smilie=a_hrm.gif]

He started crowing about 6am wich wasn't to bad ;)

The night boxes have been finished and sound proofed today so i'll let you know tomorrow how it goes :-D

Hi Kylie, the box should work well, just make sure it's not too tall so he can't stretch his neck to crow, will help.


Thanks
P.A :lol: :lol:

Just a quick update ;)

My roo box worked a treat i was awake at 6am and hubby was up at 5, no noises comming from the backyard at all :lol: i desided to let him out about 7.30 and wouldn't you know it he crowed for an hour :roll:

Hopefully the neighbours were wide awake by then and didn't notice his noise to much [smilie=a_disconcerted.gif]
