Hi, I'm Noel and I was given two Hens and a Rooster. We then bought 8 Chicks(two Gold Laced Wyandottes, two Rhode Island Reds, two Dominiques, and two Delaware)all Hens. One of our Delaware lost a wing to a Raccoon as I underestimated the Raccoons abilities, but she is doing well now. We recently bought 3 more Chicks(two Americaunas, and a Buff Orpington). My neighbor who complains about my brother in law making too much noise is now complaining about our Rooster. He is a large Rooster and mean. I've tried a no crow collar though but cannot get it to work. I'm thinking it's too high.

Unless you want fertile eggs, you don't need a rooster in your flock, your hens will lay & be just as happy without him. If he's mean and causing a problem with the neighbor, it may be a good idea to get rid of him. Sorry if you're attached, it's a common problem for a lot of poultry keepers.

Best of luck to you!
