Pip crowing!

[Nats Chickens]

Actually, we got 4 day old chicks back in May [sexed pullets, and all were pullets!] and, that did absolutely nothing when we introduced them at 12 weeks. She is quite fun and cheeky, and apart from the crowing, probably my second most behaved hen. She is the sweetie of the 2 white ones. Just thinking if maybe "Boot-camp for Chickens with Bad Behavior" or something might help, like lending her to a friend with a rooster or something.

I have never used one, but there are "no crow collars" and many threads here telling of the issues with them and their use.
Good luck!

Would a No-Crow collar work on a hen?

 

[RWise]

I myself do not know, I have never tried to stop a rooster from crowing, and I dont think my rooster would except a hen crowing.
There are many threads here about these collars

Okay, I will check them out.

Any other suggestions? [besides culling]

Most consider "culling" to be beheading, I myself consider it removing 1 from the flock as in re-homing, I do eat a few roo's.

So if you can re-home this bird, or IF you can have and want a rooster (they may fight for top place, and would be a trade off as to who crows). Re-homing would be the short easy fix, maybe trade her for another hen.?!

Good idea! Will suggest to Dad, not sure what he would think about a roo though...

I sold a few birds to my sister, with a rooster. She said they did not want him, and I told her "then eat him"! Once home they fell in luv with him and now wonder why they did not want one! But he has a really good personality,, not all do.
Good luck!

Maybe I could sneek one in as a day old chick, and he could grow up here, then we "couldn't" get rid of him lol!
