Aloha! I have a silky rooster who is 2 years old. We are moving from Hawaii to Las Vegas. There is a law against crowing roosters over there and I am looking for options to make him stop crowing. I do not want to rehome him because he is like a child to my son and we are all very attached to him. I am open to the decrowing surgery or having him caponized; which I heard will help him to stop crowing (although I don't know if it's feasible for his age of 2 years). We already are using a Crow Collar but it does not reduce the volume very much; he is still extremely loud. I also read online about some kind of hormone therapy that they give to hens but can also give to roosters to make them stop crowing. I would rather go with the least invasive option but we need one of these options nevertheless. Does anyone know of a veterinarian in the Las Vegas or surrounding area that offers any of these services? I don't want to hear any backlash about how it is a rooster's job to Crow. I realize this but he is like our family and we do not want to have to rehome him due to the city laws. If anyone has any advice for me or references on who to call please help! We are desperate!
