Our neighbors complained to the town's health department about the crowing issues, and we had to send a crowing rooster of ours far away to a town where they do not regulate on this. However, as the rest of the flock matures, we've decided to see if we can put a stop to the crowing by adding a collar. We isolated the maturest of the roosters and wrapped the under parts of their neck with paper and tape. The crowing stopped, but they've also become a little bit slow. They seem to lack the sharpness they used to have and are slow to rush to food. The mating rituals have stopped as well. It used to be that 4-5 roosters would chase their mother (a white silky) all over the place and mate with her, henceforth the silky has a bare dark back, seeing that its feathers were torn out. Nowadays, the silky roams free of harassment, and the roosters seem not to have too much interest in mating. The eggs are all unfertilized.
Would someone with previous experience please help? I apologize for the lengthy description.
