What if rooster does not crow what could be wrong?
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.
How do you get peacocks to stop crowing?
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.
Will a baby rooster crow around an old rooster?
Absolutely yes. The young rooster (cockerel) will make his first practice crows at about 3 to 4 months old and keep going from there. Even if he is the only male in the flock he will do this but if there already is a grown rooster among the hens the young one will mimic the old guy quite readily. Roosters use crowing to communicate and the two of them will voice their concerns back and forth all day.
My rooster was crowing just fine and now he sounds like he's got laryngitis he's just under a year old I was just wondering if this was a part of growing up?
It can happen. Sometimes they just over use the crow and get "hoarse". The rooster may also be slightly ill and have a mucus build up. Check his beak area and nostrils for mucus and if he seems to have crusty build up around the beak and or eyes put two tablespoons of cider vinegar into each gallon of drinking water (no more than 2 tbls). Keep this in the water for 3 days and stop. Cider vinegar helps clear up mucus and will help restore his crowing ability. You can also buy a water soluble tonic with medication for this problem.
What does snuff the rooster mean?
"Snuff the Rooster" is an old expression meaning to extract a rooster from a hen house. Roosters are very territorial birds and highly protective of hens. Farmers use to try to keep their rooster(s) separate from their hens and the hen house, unless, of course, the farmers wanted breed the birds. If the rooster got into the hen house then they were difficult to get out because they would become aggressive due to all the hens being around. In order to get the rooster out of the hen house farmers would first remove all the hens and then fill the hen house with smoke. The rooster would begin snuffing the smoke and would eventually leave the hen house. Whenever a rooster would get in the hen house farmers would tell each other it was time to snuff the rooster and that's how the expression "Snuff the Rooster" came about. In times of war the expression is used as well meaning to kill or extract the person laying cover for their group (platoon, companies, units, etc...). The person laying cover is consider the rooster. It's a comparison to a real rooster because the person laying cover is given a violent/aggressive role to protect the group much like how a real rooster behaves when around hens. Usually the rooster is given a weapon that has a lot of fire power and sometimes this weapon is given the name rooster as well. The expression has been popularized from a song by Alice in Chains called "Rooster".

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.

What is the conflict in the short story called Aunt Suzie’s rooster?
The conflict in the short story "Aunt Suzie's Rooster" is between Aunt Suzie, who loves her rooster and wants to keep him, and the narrator's father, who sees the rooster as a nuisance and wants to get rid of him. The conflict is mainly due to the rooster's loud and disruptive crowing, which disturbs the narrator's father's sleep and annoys him.
