mark_lowe Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I have 5 chickens and 2 cockerels in a cube, but as the cockerels gest older his getting louder and doing it more and more early in the morning before his even let out. Is there anything I can do to stop him doing it before I let him out? I thought of covering the cube to make it darker? if that's ok what's best to use?

Egluntyne Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Don't the cockerels fight with each other in such a confined area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_lowe Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 no they are fine. Get on really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 its ok to cover the cube but take care not to block any vents, a loose weave blanket or rug would help maybe? or maybe weed supressing membrane (not the plastic type) - something that is breathable Alternatively use a bit of old carpet/rug but leave vents clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 'Blackout' curtaining has had good reviews for this purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
