At first it just quieted him a bit, but as he has matured it has gradually worked better to where now there is only a small squeak/gurgle instead of a crow. He is very healthy and happy and otherwise seems unphased. He is also not picked on by the ladies for his collar (we did opt for the grey...
At the beginning we were checking daily. We started not very tight and slowly adjusted until it was tight enough. Now I visually "inspect" him daily when I'm out in the coop/run with them all. I don't think there's a universal answer for sizing as each rooster is going to be different...
Ok, here's another update for inquiring minds ;)
MrE has grown quite a bit. At first we adjusted the collar (quite a few times honestly) as he was growing too ensure that 1. It was tight enough to be effective 2. That it wasn't so tight it hurt him or his ability to breathe and eat.
As he got...
Ok, so I figured I would update y'all as I go with this. We received our collars (came in a 3 pack from a seller on Amazon) on Friday, but after reading instructions and watching videos on correct fitting, we decided to wait until morning so we could monitor him throughout the day to ensure his...
I find myself in the same position... Took a chance on straight run LO ended up with a Roo... ALL BOY. He's so sweet and wonderful to his girls, but we are in city limits and he's starting to really gain momentum with his crow. We have fallen in love and want to exhaust or options before...
Looks like a tough little lady to me 😉 fingers crossed! My BR pullet is like that, bosses our Roo around (they're the same age) and will peck you before he even thinks twice about it 😂 lol
Of course, it's all speculation until the first crow or the first egg, so they say 😉 I've attached a couple pictures of my 10 wk old FCM girls for reference just for the fun of it 😜 Good luck!
Well, nobody chimed in, but I wanted to do a follow up/update in case anyone else came looking for info...over the last 10 days this poor little Rhode island red chicken has been through a lot. at first I thought I might be dealing with some kind of impaction but after a couple of days of...
Hello everyone! I'm hoping to get some insight into a problem I'm having with one of our girls. I noticed a couple of days ago but she doesn't seem to be herself had a small hard ball in her crop. Gave her garlic water started massaging seemed to loosen it up and I noticed that she passed what...
They all actually ended up being Pullets!!
The "eyeliner" must be an Easter Egger thing because I have another named Starr that could give cleopatra and katy perry a run for their money :p
Those definitely look like Pullets to me also, Unfortunately I'm pretty sure mine is ALL BOY, super sweet and docile but...well, I will attach a pic so you see the difference.. He's 4 weeks
Considering deleting this app... People used to be so friendly and welcoming... More and more unpleasant interactions now days. Sometimes I am naive, yes, but aren't we here to ask and learn? And don't assume people do things intentionally and be snarky to them... Sometimes it's an honest...
