My objective is to reduce his morning crows in order to keep him! He is the only roo in the flock... So far, I've trying to let him out around sunrise - that helps with crows after letting out; I also tried to let them out an hour before the sunrise, which didn't seem to help. As the ladies didn't want to get out (due to cold weather or avoid being harassed?), he then crowed more and louder (as in the open pen compared to the coop). Quite a struggle!
Otherwise, my roo is such a sweet, cowardly yes, but very sweet, talking care of the ladies and giving them any treats he found...
Any suggestion about a better time to let them out of the coop into the pen? I'll continue to try to shift the time 30 minutes earlier. Hopefully the warm weather will help too.
