She did put up an add over FB and even in the eggs eggs eggs page so I think someone else would have complained as well though.

Quote: That's just like those people who get your card number/ bank accounts etc ( not sure how it's done as I am not a scammer.lol. ) but they manage to get like 30 peoples bank account details then just with draw small amounts from each account, each day but get total of like $300 a day.
We had this happen to us once, they only got about $150 from us though before we noticed something.

Yes, as you say Ben none of the things you have listed are ' natural ' , but all have been through stringent testing to be approved . I dare say that there are lots of items on ebay that could be considered ' hair brained ' ideas, but when it is to be used on animals it has to be certified safe to use. There are plenty of unscrupulous people out there that might use such a device to make a poor creature suffer .
Don't apologise for your opinion Lucas, we all have one. Ben and I will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

I also have to mildly disagree with you Fancy. There is absolutely no testing on products sold privately for animal use. Having been in the horse industry for many years, there have been numerous things that were "trendy" for a little while before they fell by the wayside. Something that is similar in design to the rooster collar is a windsucking collar, and that is in common usage. That was a horrible story about the Lycra mane stay, and as bad as any I have heard. I had a Clydesdale foal hang itself with a headstall once.

Thank you for asking Luke

They are doing very well and just gorgeous! 19 weeks old today, no crowing, no rooster behaviour but Suzi's comb definitely has me worried. Still positive Tina is a pullet. Still impatiently waiting!

We have a chronic wind sucker and we choose not to use a collar because as with halters, bridles, mainstays etc they can become very dangerous if the animal is turned out and left to its own devices. I don't even like rugging our horses and my daughter and I have had many an argument about it. I saved a horse from impaling itself on a star picket, when it's leg straps weren't done up. The rug blew over her head and she was in a lather of sweat by the time I got to her.
My point is ' natural ' turn horse out into the paddock without any appendage that might ultimately cause injury. Used sensibly in a controlled environment the rooster collar might work, but that would depend largely on its environment and whether or not there was someone around to save him if he got hung up on something in the yard. In which case you haven't saved the animal from suffering, you have caused it.
We've had horses since I was 5 and I have come to the conclusion that there are no ' silly ' horses, just silly people.
End of rant !
