Hello,

My name is Jess and I have 7 beautiful 11 week old chickens. I have had them since they were 5 weeks old and the breeds include; australorp, barnevelder, speckled sussex and plymouth barred rock. I live in the suburbs so we will need to rehome the boys (looks like I have at least 3) when we can 100% identify them unfortunately. We were hoping to keep one rooster, so if anyone has any experience on keeping a rooster quiet I would love to hear it! I have seen the collars you can get but unsure if this is cruel or not?
 
Howdy Jess :frow Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Enjoy your time here!
Yes, the anti-crow collars are cruel. There are many threads on here about them and how they have killed their rooster by using a no crow collar! :(
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frowGlad you joined.
Yes, crow collars are cruel. There are many reports of them killing the bird.
Post individual pictures of each bird with the bird free standing. At 11 weeks, we can make fairly accurate guesses at gender.
