Hi Skink! I was wondering if you could elaborate on the nonsurgical options you referred to that reduce crowing. There are many who would like alternatives and you appear to have some techniques that would benefit those with roosters. Perhaps you could share your personal experiences with...

Hi shabbychick23, if you go back to his first post, you will see he is locate in Eastern Oklahoma--that is in the USA. He has a really nifty website that has additional information: http://quietroosters.wordpress.com/

Can I assume that you also are against spaying and neutering your pets as well?

Dr James, I think this is very interesting and there is a market. I suspect that the best market is Urban or semi-rural folks who want to be good neighbors or who like to sleep past 4 am. You know, the folks that name their chickens and cry when they die. The folks that do a lot of culling in...
