Good God! Its completely natural for the rooster to do this first thing in the morning- its bred into him and its impossible to take that out of him. Its an internal alarm clock! You could try draping something dark over his house so he doesnt realize its morning???? But i truly think u either need to find him a new home or just plain get use to it!

Roosters crow at ALL hours- that is what they do. You either have to get rid of this particular rooster and try another one (or not), learn to live with it, move the chicken house further away, or keep him inside at night and sound proof his enclosure a bit (building a wall of straw bales around his enclosure might muffle the sound quite a bit.
The only other option is checking with a large animal vet to see if there is a vocal cord surgery that would be very costly which can be performed.
You think roosters are bad try getting peacocks!! it will make you appreciate the roosters for sure...

Are you sure we can't kill him? lol-just kidding... Maybe this'll help....Keep him inside the chicken coop or barn & leave a light on 24/7. Hopefully he'll think it's daylight all the time & will never feel the need to crow in the morning. And he's shut away so if he does decide to make noise at random times it'll be a little softer 'cause he's in the barn. I wonder if they make those shock collars (like to get dogs to stop barking) for poultry...

no i dont think that there is.... roosters crow to let the hens know where they are. darkness will stop the crowing, but that is probably not feasable. Why keep a rooster? you only need him if you WANT fertilized eggs......the hens wont miss hi unwanted attention that is for sure

Take a bunch of rubber bands and wrap them around his beak. LOL or just give it away if you hate roosters. or keep him away from where you are! I hate to say it but chickens are super dumb!

Put a hood over his head so he thinks it is still dark outside, a breathable fabric will do.
