Serama Rooster needs a new home (Austin, TX)

[nancyinatx]

Hi everyone! One of my babies found his voice this week. He's a 5 month old black and white speckled Serama. I wish I could keep him because he's sweet as can be, but I can't have a crowing rooster in my neighborhood.

Take a look into getting a No-Crow collar. It might work for you. If it doesn't hope you are able to find a good home for him.

Eliza1313 - Never heard of a "No Crow Collar"....How does it work & where can it be found?

If I remember correctly, I saw it on mypetchicken.com

From reviews I have read it does not actually stop them from crowing, but it restricts the amount of air in the air sac reducing the volume.

Eliza1313 - Thanks will look into it. Some Roosters are so pretty but because they crow

look into caponizing him... chicke version of neutering... ask a vet

That's expensive, doesn't normally work well and doesn't fully stop the crowing

 

[chickletteSarge]

if done correctly it will stop all male traits... cockrels when grown out will exhibit hen type traits such as going broody! if any traces of the male organs are left in then yes it will continue to crow and exhibit male traits...

It's extremely expensive though. I looked into it and I've never do that to my roos
