Quote: The ACO said that the shock collar used on a Rooster is inhumane/animal cruelty and that the shock training does not work on a Rooster the way it is effective on a dog. I don't know much about shock collars but I can tell you that Rooster made awful sounds for the weeks it was forced to...

Quote: I expect that they keep the Rooster quiet until a reasonable time in the mornings, I know they are capable because they choose to do so on the mornings *they* want to sleep in. I have read about many ways on the internet and there were some good ideas posted here about a timer on the...

UPDATE The local Animal Control Officer (ACO) paid them a visit and the neighbor readily admitted to using the dog shock collar and stated that she did so on the suggestion of our Police chief (not sure I believe this because she has lied about many things). The ACO says that she told them that...

Quote: Hi Moetrout, Those are both great ideas! I will offer to buy the Rooster, although doubtful she will sell her "child" it's worth asking and I like your other idea, we had actually thought of doing that, recording their Rooster and playing it back through a loud speaker through the night...

Quote: You paint an accurate picture of both sides. We are in no way saying they can't or shouldn't have a Rooster, simply stating they need to be responsible owners and think of the safety and peacefulness for rooster and the neighborhood. No One is happy right now and the poor Rooster has...

Quote: No local laws/ordinances. The Police Chief says they are considering a noise ordinance but selectman voted it down the last few attempts. There are no ordinances on livestock or poultry. The police say the only thing they can enforce is the State Statutes on dogs, the state of NH has...

Quote: I really wish the other side would post here! The Rooster owner has stated her position to us, the Police & the Animal Control Officer that this is her "child" and that Roosters "crow" and we should deal with it because, "we moved into farm country" and has stated we are not innocent...

Quote: I have tried earphones the week of finals, I take college classes full-time online from home and the last 2 weeks of writing research papers and finals was really tough thanks to the constantly screaming Rooster and the headphones did not cancel out the Rooster, miine are probably not...

Quote: We really have tried to reason with them........the husband is very laid back and is uninvolved, the wife is left to deal with this because it is her Rooster and she is being unreasonable and basically not willing to compromise, she is being selfish and not willing to take...

Quote: Hi Flock Mistress! Beautiful photo! I really don't know anything about training chickens, just going by what the AC Officer said. The Neighbor said the shock collar was injuring her Rooster, her words. I have never heard of citronella collars until this thread, i will offer the...

Quote: No ordinances at all! No noise ordinance and no livestock/poultry ordinance. Other parts of the state have these laws/ordinances but not our tiny town. I beg to differ on not having much of a case, in other towns in NH that have no ordinances and local police could not do anything the...

Quote: I have heard they protect but not sure what they would be protecting in this case, they keep their few chickens in an enclosed dog kennel type fence so no animals can get at them. I think it is more of a "pet" as she calls them her "children". BUT kind of parent would use a shock...

Quote: I wondered if there was a reason I may be missing on having a rooster and good to know there is not any reason. I wonder if the same thing happened to my neighbors, they may have thought they were getting all chickens. I am sorry to hear about your chickens, that is not fair and it is...

Can anyone explain the purpose of having a Rooster in a residential neighborhood where the home sit on small lots, abutting a major highway? I completely understand the benefit of the neighbors having the chickens for the garden fertilizing, keeping insects away and fresh eggs but why a Rooster...

Are there any links to where these could be bought or instructions for DIY? I would like to pass it on to the neighbor. Although it would be nice for the Rooster to be kept in a insulated place later in the AM I would expect it to be kept there throughout other periods of the day and evening...

Quote: Is there any way to have a sound proof hen house or chicken coup so that the Rooster is free to crow without waking up the neighborhood? I agree, the shock collar is RIDICULOUS! I am calling and writing AC daily, they are supposed to pay them a visit today, apparently they are not home...

From what I have read there are no ways to train a Rooster to be quiet and the only effective ways are inhumane. Is there anyone here who has found ways of soundproofing a chicken coup or hen house? Just wondering if there is truly any way for this very loud Roo to stay peacefully in this...

Hi Redhen! The Shock Collar really bothers me too. I am hoping that the AC Officer gets over there this week, when speaking with ACO the officer said they have no business having the Rooster and they will be getting a visit, just hope that the ACO is successful in getting them to either...

I am coming here to ask Rooster owners how to handle my neighbor, I do not personally own a Rooster and have nothing against a neighbor owning a Rooster, chickens or any other poultry or livestock but I have a problem with a neighbor being irresponsible and un-neighborly. I am not "uppity" and...
