    Hello The no crow collar only reduces the noise and has to be placed around the crows neck very tightly. To be honest it's no life for a rooster as it is very much a part of their existence to crow and makes their necks very sore. They can have breathing issues especially in the hot summer...

    Official BYC Poll: How Do You Keep Your Chickens Cool In Summer?

    My city asked me to get rid of my rooster but they don't have any urban chicken by-laws in place. I'm trying to help make new by-laws that will allow me to keep my 2 hens and beautiful gentle rooster. I really need their chicken therapy to get me through all this upset. Thanks for your kind words.
