I guess my sense of humor doesn’t translate well to writing. In my family, we use teasing forms of endearment like “butthead” and “little fart.” Please let me be clear: I adore my rooster. I spoil him rotten. I’m not getting rid of my chickens. This will be my last post.

Luckily it isn’t a big issue but I don’t want it to become one. My neighbors adore him, but I wanted to make sure I had an option in case someone did complain. And normally I wouldn’t have a rooster but he was a very special case and they were going to euthanize him because no one wanted him...

Interesting!! Are there articles I can read about this? I’ve never heard it before!

You’re welcome! Your experience with it might vary (as every rooster is different) but having success with my pig-headed roo is definitely a good sign! He will still make one or two crow-tests a day to see if it’s still working but other than that, he’s nice and quiet! Cranky about the collar...

Yikes! Have you been able to treat him for worms?

Awwww - I always thought I didn’t like roosters until I finally had one. And my heart totally melted over this smoosh. And I have no idea how he got that smart!!! Although my girls are pretty clever when they want to be... I have one that can figure out just about any puzzle if there’s food...

I will try to get a good one! He’s a bit of a stubborn butthead sometimes so it might take me a day or two to get a good one!

He is too smart! He will still crow once or twice a day to see if the collar is still working but that’s about it.

Hahahaha!! Well I’m sure everyone’s mileage will vary - my clever fart will still occasionally crow to see if the charge has worn down. I can always tell because he just starts crowing like mad!

Thank you!! And I hope they work for you!!

Thank you!!! Like I said I’ve been lurking for quite awhile but I finally felt I had something I could share! This site is always my first resource when I’m trying to figure something out. I’ll definitely be posting more in the future!

He is WAY TOO SMART. He knows his own name and how to talk the hens into doing whatever he wants (aka - getting into trouble with him!)

I don’t like the no-crow collars either. There were too many casualties for my comfort and I don’t like the idea of choking a roo to keep him quiet. I thought I’d try it with my roo because I was exhausting all options but the little fart had his own ideas

Here’s the one I use! It’s small and lightweight so it’s comfortable.

Hello friends! First post but a LOOOOONG time lurker! Sorry for the post length; TL;DR at the bottom. I know the title sounds like a clickbait article, but this has been a bumpy road for us! I have a small backyard flock in the suburbs of a major metropolitan city. We don’t have any laws about...
