black meat breeds, silkies ect....

[lauraschicks]

MyPetChicken has them as well as Nocrowroostercollars.com

I've never used them though so I don't know how good they are.

I have not heard good things about the no crow collars, I have 3 roos that have had the crow reduction surgery. I just have too many roos and the surgery is crow reduction not crow elimination. We tried the sock thing around the neck and velcro on top of the crow reduction surgery. It might be because our bedroom window is 10 feet away from their coop/pen and it's below zero and sound carries on the cold.

I suspect my first batch of ac are getting close to laying, with the days getting longer that will be great. Especially since I got 2 incubators for Christmas.

I live in the country and love to hear the roosters. My friend lives in town and needs the crow collars

Double kindness, I have a question for you. Does a capons rooster still crow, or try to breed.

What do you guys think M or F at this age?

Looking male to me

 

[bluenkimchi]

same too, though this breed is a bit hard tell for sure. So I might have to wait till maybe 2+ months?

This was the father at 4.5 months

Very beautiful bird bluenkimchi!

Thank you GB,

It looks like a male for sure now, since it is growing in red feathers.

BTW, here is how the parent currently looks like
