One view:
You can't unless you have a broody hen on eggs that are about to hatch. Put the little ducklings under that hen at night. You may have to take some of her eggs though, so you can put the ducklings in her nest. This has worked for some people but there's a possibility it won't work. It's just something you can try. Try one duckling one night and watch very closely the next day.
Another view:
Keep them separated. Attacking anything different is common among animals.
Yes, keep them separated. Chickens need a drier environment than ducks do.
by feeding it pieces of bread and then you have to wipe a cloth just over its nose. it would'NT bite. seriously, even I've a duck.
Depends on the situtation. They're really difficult to upset. If you've upset him, just back off. Give him room until his stops honking or chasing you. He will calm down on his own.
If it's a fight for a mate...well, good luck! If a male mallard feels another male is trying to steal his woman there is no way to calm him down. You can chase him, and he'll run, but he'll go right back to the offender wanting to fight. You can yell at him to stop but only if he knows you will he listen.
If the duck is hysterical because it has witnessed the loss of a mate or child I would recommend calling a wildife rehabber. It may need a sedative.
I only ran into this case once, where I ran across a duck that was quacking consistantly for over 15 minutes...I'm not sure how he breathed!...I called "hello" to him over and over again, like I was a bird who repeats her call, and finally he came around and looked at me. He did stop.
Well, I know what you mean I'm going through it right now actually. What I did was buy another small pet. I got a baby bunny. They got along and kept each other company and so on. Now he doesn't chirp much anymore. My advice is to buy another baby pet to keep company while they grow up together.
You can't. Crowing is a basic essential of roosters because they crow to proclaim their territory. Selling your roosters and keeping hens would do.
Crickets chirp more when they are cold, so warm the area. Otherwise catch them and throw them outside.

Only dark and death stops a rooster crowing.If your rooster is crowing after dark you need to remove ALL light sources from his roost.
A crowing rooster can have a crow that is upwards of a decibel level of 70. This can be comparable to the decimal level of a raised human voice.
No
That's an (English) attempt to represent the crowing of a rooster. Other cultures have other words for animal sounds.
he may for a second but theyre not dogs . roosters are gonna crow and that's that BUT you can make him quieter alittle longer in the morning. just keep it dark in his home longer. however im talking about instead of 4 am he will crow around 6am. they know when its morning. please know that roosters crow to call the ladies and to announce they are around.Squirting a RoosterIt might make him mean. a fact about roosters: a rooster can never be stoped in mid crow. he may quaver for a second but he has to get the rest outta there.No. You can't halt hundreds of thousands of years of natural behavior that way. The only way you can truly stop a rooster from crowing is to take him to a vet and have his voice box removed. Not all vets offer this service though.
Unless it's exceptionally hot, and/or the rooster is not used to heat, a rooster will usually not stop crowing, though his crowing may very well decline in the hottest hours of the day.

crow about something and crow over something:1. Lit. [for a rooster] to cry out or squawk about something. The rooster was crowing about something-you never know what.2. Fig. [for someone] to brag about something. Stop crowing about your successes! She is crowing over her new car.
This is a natural thing for a rooster to do.

You can't stop 'em from crowing, but you can muffle the noise (between certain hours) by keeping them inside your house (in cages!) or in a sound-boarded chicken house. Location of the roost is also important, as sound will bounce off certain structures and even seem to amplify. Light is the main reason a rooster will crow after going to roost at night. If any light is getting in the coop he will not settle well. Make sure the inside of the coop is dark once the sun goes down.
Our silkie bantam started crowing at 16 wks.
No. Roosters crow when they see light, it's instinctive.
Not typically. Any breed of hen can make a crowing sound but it is often done by hens in a flock that has no rooster. The alpha hen in a flock of chickens without a rooster will often take over the "guard" duties of a rooster.
No
NO! The only way to keep a rooster from crowing is to get it de-crowed. It is just the same as de-barking a dog. All you have to do is remove its vocal chords. DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE IT MORE THAN 10 TIMES WITHOUT FAILING.
The rooster could be ill, it could be the wrong season ( crowing is part of setting up territories and calling females into his group, if it is not breeding season his male hormones will drop and he will have no desire to crow) Or He could be a beta rooster - if there is more than one rooster on the property at least one will always be alpha doing most of the crowing, others down the pecking order may just stay quiet, accepting that they are not at the top of the pecking order.
