I definitely want them! We ended up with 3 roos out of a clutch of 7! We will have to rehome 2 of them though, I'll post about that soon. I am also in Los Angeles!
Where were you just a few months ago. I would have tried it. I had to give up our beautiful lavender orp rooster & he was so awesome. He is now a breeder since he didnt have any beige feathers. Can this work on noisy hens? I have to use a water bottle to spray them to teach manners. My husband can tell them to be quiet on the web cam which works. So he will get a text at work to scold the girls.View attachment 2256126
Intentionally you can’t see the device here but you can see the proud rooster with his flock. My yard is a total mess in this pic, but you can see the grey house is our neighbor and they are quite close. I live in Southern California so houses are quite close together. Yet the roosters are never a problem
Well. Maybe a little bit of insight. Other collors press against the windpipe to shut the chicken up. Does your's safely absorb vibration or ect. People are usually scammed and tend to raise hackles at strange new things that could be lies. Also change the name up a bit. You call it a collar and people might turn their nose at it. Think of when people look up humain alternatives to silence a roosters.Hey all, I am a passionate backyard chicken farmer, and over the last couple years I designed and perfected a simple “device” that dramatically dampens a rooster’s crow to a level that is much quieter than a squawking hen. It is easy to apply. It does not choke the rooster in any way, unlike traditional collars. It doesn’t interfere with their movement, ability to mate, etc. In other words, it humanely and consistently SOLVES the rooster crowing dilemma for urban and suburban chicken owners everywhere.
I created it in order to be able to keep my own roosters that I hatched from eggs when we got attached to them. I have had the “device” on them on for over a year, and my neighbor’s never even knew they were free ranging out back just 15 yards away.
I won’t go into the details, but my solution was not very intuitive and took a ton of trial and error.
What kind of demand do you all think there would be for this sort of product? How would I go about convincing people it is actually humane and saves the lives of roosters (and the heartbreak of chicken owners who have to give them up)? I know there is always a lot of controversy about traditional collars, and I made sure that my design was as comfortable as possible. And it will NOT choke your rooster
