anyone managed this in an even semi effective way? just when they are in the houses obviously. Its actually for us, new place has no neighbours for 3/4 mile but the poultry will be closer to our house. And I now seem to have 3 cockerels 


The big lad can also crow when he can't stand up or stretch out-as we found recently when transporting him, although isn't given to crowing through the night. Last year I had a Marsh Daisy cockerel that I tucked away in the shed every night as it was the only way of shutting him up. I can do that again at a push but wondered if anyone had any ideas-I rahter suspect that anything good could harbour mite..

thanks VF-some good ideas, I think I can angle some old doors/boarding with some sort of soft stuff.
