Welcome To BYC!Hi Erna,
Welcome to BYC! All thought and opinions are welcome here - you will find that some members are outspoken, while others might make suggestions. It's really up to each one of us how we handle and raise our chickens.
I think the rooster collar thing came about because sometimes people end up with roosters who didn't really want them to start with. Rather than killing the rooster to eat, they go the route of trying to quite the rooster down - thus, the collar.
I live on 10 acres in the country, so a crowing rooster is not a problem for me. I still don't want one, but if I end up with any from my latest batch of chicks, then we'll see how it goes.
At any rate, it's nice to meet you.
As a rule of thumb, British English tends to have extra letters in some of the words. If you know that there are two different spellings, the American English is most likely the shorter of the two.
