X3....risk to the rooster, medically speaking....roosters gotta crow, chickens gotta cluck. Don't see this any differently than if your dog barks too much, you should arrange to mute him. Re-home is the humane solution. Get yourself another hen if you fowl inventory is down one. Leave that poor boy be.

We are trying the collar so that we can keep ours because not many people keep roosters and after having him for 10 weeks I can't bare to give him to a home that may eat him!! He's so much more affectionate than our hen!

Yeah, so is our rooster. He's quite the comic....running around, keeping the hens in line, staring down our big dog, chasing flies but never seems to catch any. Hope the collar works for you. A good chicken, even a rooster, where they are not welcome due to laws, is worth keeping if you can manage it. I would like to keep mine. Two neighbors have already said no problem, the third is a renter with anger issues. He doesn't know that I know the property owner....and is a phone call away.

Can anyone tell me if this chicken is a hen or a rooster. It's about three and a half months old and hasn't crowed whereas our other one crows every morning!

That looks female but it is hard to be sure...what kind of chicken?

He was a cockerel, had to give him away. We had two of them so it was hard to tell if he was a cockerel because he didn't crow or anything due to the other one always being the dominant one
