Loud rooster

[izakifoto]

We got a rooster by accident from our murdochs and we our totally fine with it but our whiny neighbor is causing problems and threatening to kill it, we've tried making it some collars but it dosent like them so I would like to know if theres any other solutions to his crowing, no harming please.

What are the local laws/ordinances about roosters and/or noise problems?

If your rooster is perfectly legal can you report your neighbor's threats to the police?

Yep, first thing to find out.
@izakifoto do you know your rights here?

Touchy situation...sounds like not a great relationship to begin with, involving the police might just make it worse, even if you legally can have the crower.
Crow collars can be harmful..and they often don't do the trick.

I really don't understand people that hate roosters crows. I love the noise.

I like to hear my cock crowing too...but the noise all chickens make can be very annoying, especially if it is incessant and loud and close.

I think you can buy a collar, never tried it myself as I have never had to worry about neighbors.
Hope you can get things sorted out!
Poor rooster! I really don't understand people that hate roosters crows. I love the noise.

What about getting him caponized (neutured)? It prevents crowing and further hormone development.

Needs to be done by about 6-8 weeks....once they are crowing it's too late and a much more difficult procedure.

Instead of strangling him with a collar or mutilating the poor creature I would suggest to rehome him to a place where he is allowed to live a normal rooster life including some crowing every once in a while.

Don't caponize the rooster. Honestly, it's such a difficult procedure and it's not like spaying or neutering a mammal. Chickens don't do very well during surgery and it would incredibly expensive to have a vet do it.

We are planning on doing that if we get some recordings, we dont live in the city and a few people on the block also have roosters

It's perfectly legal for us to have our rooster, we love the sound of a rooster crowing but it's very insistent and he dosent seem to really have his inner clock, he crows all hours of the day non-stop, I really don't want to get rid of him.

I thought it could be done up to 6 months.
