Yah,He is a vet and has been getting some good results.

To bad he wasn't the one who did this for Mahonri a while back.

I have been following bluedogsonly's thread about decrowing. I am so thrilled a BYCer I "know" has one of his ... Patients. That is SO cool!
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.

Linda me too if I had the money. I swear if I did, we'd be taking a road trip!


And now a little something else you can do with hay bales.

Quote: THis is my style pool. Easy and temporary!! Just can't get those huge bales around here, and need a skidder to move them. Hmm. . . wonder if I can get them delivered and just roll them into position . . . . . . WOnder what the liner is made of ? Looks thin but not like a tarp . . . .

They said tarp, but I don't know. Thought it was cool though.

That is what it looks like.

Well as much as I love this pool, Makayla and I are on our way to pick up the little pool I just ordered. Man I need land!

I was thinking of Mahonri too, he had the procedure done on his favorite roo but, the bird didn't survive. Gee it would be a blessing for people who are forced to give up their roos- if it wasn't risky.

I know. I remember he wanted to keep that roo so baddly. I have so many and last June we went from being county to city. I have to watch over my shoulder. Lucky thing is there are lots of roosters around here.

As the Philippines is one of the few countries where that unspeakable "sport" is permitted, you are more likely to find a house with three or four roos than three or four hens.

Except for some of the gated communities in the big cities, not hearing the sounds of roosters is abnormal.

You get used to most sounds around you with a little tolerance. I even learned to get used to the predawn call to prayer by the mosques in Indonesia when I was hanging out there.

Well given a choice I would have gotten a normal rooster or maybe two. I really like the morning calls and altering an animal always has risks. Unfortunately it was the only option living where I do. Even though I'm in a rural area and out of town. The subdivision has rules against all livestock. My neighbor is tolerant and hasn't complained but I can't push my luck.
