Hi, I am a new chickeneer, and when our straight run flock got old enough I've found at least 3 roosters in the bunch. I love all my little chickies, but due to noise, we are not allowed to have roosters. We tried a no crow collar, which seemed to work well, but now not so much. I have read in multiple places that there is a surgery that might be doable so that they can't crow anymore.
I realize that should not be the first option, but I don't want to split up my little flock, I don't want them to be unloved or eaten. There are so many unwanted roosters I've seen and I can't even imagine what becomes of them (I've also read/heard horror stories). :/ I'd like to keep them all.
I'm in PA in between Lancaster and Philly. If you know of any vets who do this surgery, please shoot me a message.
