Hi everyone! We r new chicken lovers, having 6 total in our backyard. One has turned out to be a rooster (Rocket). We r loving their different personalities n enjoy watching their antics. However, we don't need a rooster for eggs n don't want to disturb our neighbors. We would love to keep him, but need to curb his crowing to the smallest amount possible. I've read activities, being content in the flock n keeping it dark in the coop can help. Anyone heard of feeding them beets?
