Does he stay in a coop overnight? If he’s confined in a coop with a low ceiling, so he can’t stretch upwards, it may stop the crowing. May. The simple fact is that roosters crow. If you won’t get rid of him (or eat him), you may just have to find money in your budget for paying those fines on a regular basis. ---

Forget about your rooster, what about my cock? 😃 ---

Already with the fowl puns. I suggest browsing at [backyard chickens](http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/index.php) forums, they probably have an answer. Although the only answer I have is to kill him or get rid of him. Roosters never shut up. ---

Eat him while he is young. ---

No joke. Get him a a few hens for company. He’ll still crow, but not as often. Worked for my family, and fertile eggs are better for you. ---
