We order chicks from a hardware store, we ordered hens but one of the "hens" is actually a rooster. 9 Buff Orpingtons (one died before we got them) and 10 rhode island reds. The rooster is a buff Orpington and he is 7 or 8 weeks old. So i dont really want to get rid of him because i found out they are actually pretty useful at other things besides being an alarm clock. We live like 100 yards out of city limits so we can keep him but the road we are on has lots of houses near ours. So do rooster collars work and does anyone have pics of a diy one you made that works well if. The rooster isn't crowing yet but he will be soo and i want to be prepared whenhe starts. Thanks!
