I got him from bluedogsonly here on BYC. Its a bit pricey but if you cant have a crower I think it is worth it. I think he has others available.

Does he de crow them himself?

How in the world do you de-crow a rooster?

It's a lot like debarking a dog. They do surgery on the "voice box". He thinks he can crow and goes through the action but no sound comes out.

I have been following bluedogsonly's thread about decrowing. I am so thrilled a BYCer I "know" has one of his ... Patients. <B> That is SO cool!</b>
I love the term " forever rooster," too. My Carl is MY forever rooster, and he's too important for me to ship off to have the procedure performed, but I wouldn't mind saving up for Domino, his subordinate, to maybe get decrowed. (Although I must admit Domino has a much better crow.... Carl has never used enough syllables to make the classic cock-a-doodle-doo crow. Domino is one syllable short, but it IS closer to the ideal.

I would spend some of my retirement money to de-crow several roosters if I could drive 'em to bluedogsonly's practice, even a couple hundred miles away. But not across the country.

I hate having to get rid of roosters.

Oh thank the good Lord I live in the country. That sounds like a surgery I dont want my little roo going through. I am glad it worked out for your Rooster and you can now keep him.

Well I don't think I would send one to him because there is a chance of loosing them to complications. He did have several breeds already done when I spoke to him (Colored leghorn, silver hamberg, sl wyandotte, and blue Andalusian) I just let him pick one out for me. My flock is all different breeds so it didn't really matter what the roo was.

Wait now I need to get more hens since I don't have a matched trio....right
