Hi I live in a neighborhood and me being foolish, I pulled out of the strait run bin. I have fallen in love with my punk'in but he' starting to try to crow. Hes about 5 months old. I would like to know if the no crow collars really work and just to let you know hes a bantam so hes like 5% quiter than a big roo. I would also like to know how I can make a no crow collar. Thanks!

They don't stop them from crowing, they just soften and dim the volume of the crow. If you're not allowed to have roosters I recommend rehoming him.

I've never had one personally but my friend does and her cockerel will crow but its no louder than a cluck, but they could still be a pullet. Sometimes when pullets are young they will crow, but if he does end up being a rooster it will definitely be a good investment.

thanks do you think just a piece of Velcro could work? Check out my thread if you are interested in him please!

I love my sizzle roo and we aren’t allowed roosters in our area so we tried putting a no crow collar it didn’t work, he would walk backward scratching at it, so we had to bring him to a farm, he was so sweet

Is it against the law for you to have roosters where you live? I have no idea, I'm just wondering. If that *is* the case... please really consider obeying the law. It can be really hard to get authorities to agree to chickens in a certain area, and if the rule is no roosters, by trying to "cheat" you could end up losing those privileges of even having any chickens at all, and stopping everyone else from having them too. Or do you have some other reason for trying to stop this young cockerel from simply behaving like a cockerel?

If you're not allowed roosters by law, if it were me I would rehome him.

It's just because they are loud. I need to re home him if u are interested please reply to this post and well get in touch. I live near Detroit Michigan

If I were to attempt to use a no crow collar I personally would try the original before attempting to make my own. According to youtube videos I have seen it is decently effective, but usually before attempting to reverse engineer something it helps to have an original. And I agree if it is not legal for you to keep roos but is legal for hens I wouldn't be keeping a rooster in the first place.
