    Rooster that doesn’t crow??

    Hi, I have an 8 month old chicken which is a Wyandotte X Frizzle. He/she looks like a Rooster to me but has never crowed. Is it possible to have a rooster that doesn’t crow? Or do you think this is a hen. Have also not seen it in the nesting box but I could miss that but I have seen it jumping...

    Finally Got my Roo To Stop Crowing!

    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...

    Buzz Lightyear's Fancy Bowtie

    Buzz Lightyear has a habit of crowing at midnight when he hears the neighbors come home, so we are trying a collar to see if he crows a little softer. Of course I had to add a bowtie. I want to make a bowtie for Sheriff Woody as well, but he is such a good boy that I dont want to bother him...

    Tucking roosters into bed!

    So I've discovered that my rooster, who normally will crow before it even gets light outside, has an off switch! If I put him into his basket nest and tuck him into bed with a towel in a dark space, then he will sleep until I get him up without making a peep. He won't crow at all until I take...

    Rooster who doesn't/won't crow?

    Hello BYC family. I met a rooster who doesn't crow today. Never has. He is a lavender orpington a tad over 1 year old. Does anyone have experience with this? Has anyone ever heard of this? I'm very curious about it. I'm considering adopting him, I love boys but can't have any due to...

    Home made no crow collar.

    I’m sure I’m going to get the negative opinions of some people. If you are one of those people I respect you and the way you choose to raise your chickens please show the same respect to me, even if you don’t agree. With that being said I woke up this morning to the first crows from my 20 week...

    No crow rooster collar death beware

    My 5 month old rooster just died. He had the collar over a month.He was healthy and we thought everything was fine he would try to shake it off and the 3 hens would peck at it gently trying to get it off. We thought we were careful and followed instructions. We watched him and he could breath...

    No Crow Collar, opinions?

    Some of you have seen my other posts regarding my miracle chick and current batch of eggs incubating, but since I'm the the type to plan A-Z I'm trying to make plans for roosters. Now...live in the city, but local law allows for backyard chickens (no roosters) with the amount allowed depending...

    Has anyone trained a rooster to not crow?

    I saw a youtube video posted by a woman who says she trained her rooster not to crow by locking it up in her closet whenever it crowed. #1 I don't want to lock a rooster in my closet. (It needs to stay outside) #2 I'm not around during the day so I can't do anything if it crows when I'm away...

    Rooster collar experiences and thoughts

    I recently acquired three Silkie chicks. They're growing up fast (they're around 8 weeks old now) and I think at least one is a cockerel. I want to be prepared for the crowing, as I live in a place where neighbours wouldn't appreciate the noise. I'm guessing that if I have a cockerel he will...
