    My dad's Iowa Blues :) They are almost 20wks old now and the little roos are already such good flock guardians!

    ALABAMA!!

    He is! We have two frizzle hens that came with him, but they are in the middle of a very ugly molt (and won't be bred to him). We are hoping he and her silkies will make some sizzles next year.

    ALABAMA!!

    Yeah, that's what I was worried about the first few times, but I finally bit the bullet and got it good and tight. I had to pull a lot of the up so I could get it good and snug.

    ALABAMA!!

    Awww! The collar is still working for our little Tractor. I did figure out it had to be tight. He dislikes it so much he doesn't even try to crow. He still makes other sounds, though. I guess it just depends on the rooster, maybe?

    ALABAMA!!

    You have the right to demand to know who has complained. In our city, a complaint has to be made in writing and signed. I would demand to see a complaint in writing if they city says something to you about anything else. That's just ridiculous.

    ALABAMA!!

    That's so neat - I didn't think about a sock! I might have to try that, too, just to see how it works.

    ALABAMA!!

    No, it isn't like a bark collar - no shocking or anything. It is made of mesh and velcro and fits snugly around the neck and puts pressure to limit the force of air so the crow isn't as loud. They can still crow, just not as loud. Apparently our little Tractor just gave up trying since he...

    ALABAMA!!

    @Tomtommom I tightened the No Crow collar on the little rooster last night and absolutely NO crowing until I took it off this morning. I am rather impressed as I did not think it would completely eliminate it. I'm going to test it out for a few more days and then tuck it away for those days...

    ALABAMA!!

    @Tomtommom , don't forget about cars that drive around in the wee hours with the radio blaring - that's worse than a rooster! Of course, you could always go the therapy route if you have any health issues. We have a noise ordinance too, but the city kinda knows better than to try to mess with...

    ALABAMA!!

    We're grandfathered in - I could have a backyard full of pigs if I wanted and nobody could do anything about it, haha. My next-door neighbor decided to gripe about my daughter's little rooster all over Facebook, though. As my dad is her landlord and they've been on my wifi for years out of the...

    ALABAMA!!

    OK, got my No Crow Collars today. I ordered a small and a medium just to be safe. It said for a bantam Cochin a small, but Tractor is a little big and is a frizzle with tons of feathers on his neck, so I was skeptical about a small working. Well, he pulled the small off in under 2 minutes. I...
