    No Crow Rooster collar

    This is a very common reaction to a no crow collar being used - and I have seen it occur with baby socks and the elastic Cock Collars as well. The rooster will at first thrash around, running backwards and into things and will flap about wildly. Once they have gotten over this, they will peck...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    www.cockcollars.com.au They're apparently having an April special. Buy 3, get 1 free. I like to have two sets so I can have one in the wash and another on my roo. They're $5.50 + shipping which appears to be $2 within Australia and $3 everywhere else. I was really skeptical of them at...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    Yeah - definitely. My Golden Spangled Hamburg cockerel had some pretty gnarly ingrown feathers and clusters of mite eggs under the collar. I shall have to remove their collars more often and be sure to dust them more regularly. Personally, I've found that the Cock Collars result in fewer...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    It definitely won't. The reality is that you're probably going to need to get at least 2 different sizes for your boy until he reaches full size (at about a year old). He'll start crowing -well- before a 10" collar will fit him. My boys started crowing at around 5 weeks old and only size S...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    They almost always start again. XD Naughty boys. Time to put the collar back on again? He'll probably be louder than ever now...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    And people are afraid of the fauna in Australia? XD My biggest concerns are foxes, the pet cats of others, a dog that might get into my yard and eagles. XD

    No Crow Rooster collar

    I haven't had any cold weather since my roosters were old enough to be outside. I think that I can safely say that it is not low temperatures, however, as the lowest temperature we've had in ages is about 65F and most days it's around 95F. It's summer here. It just seems to come and go. I've...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    Your roo may start crowing again once he realizes he can. Mine will typically stop crowing and will continue not crowing after I take the collar off but will start again eventually. When my roo started getting dark tips on his comb I took his collar off (even though the cause was something...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    The No Crow ones are a bit harder to get off but they do take adjusting. We had to adjust ours four or five times to get them right. It's much, much easier to put them on with a second person - just don't be too alarmed when your chicken freaks out after it's put on and thrashes about/runs...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    Just an update on my boys and their collars. I was a bit lax with adjusting them and only got around to another adjustment a few days ago. They now tolerate their collars being put on just fine, no freak outs and still crow but quite quietly. All other noises they make are at full volume...

    No Crow Rooster collar

    So far ours has been a huge success. It's a little daunting at first. When you put the collar on your roo he freaks out, runs around backwards and shakes his head violently trying to get it off. Then he'll start pecking at it and trying to pull it off (and probably will a few times, so watch...
