Young rooster crowing constantly

[IdahoPrepper]

I posted a thread how to shut him up. Works fast. Mine was crowing 100's of times per day like every 2 mins and 6x in a row. I put an end to that real quick. Now he is 99.99% silent.

Thank you. I will look into it.

I looked into your thread, and I don't think I will even attempt this one. My boy is a house pet, so really the last thing I would want to do is make him terrified of me. But thank you for sharing.

Well if you find a better way without hurting or choking them let everyone know. I gave you a way to shut him up.
Mine runs if I have a hose in my hand but if I walk our with a head of lettuce he comes running over to me. He gets rewarded for being QUIET!
Your noise your problem I guess........ You keep chickens in the house????? Wow!

Those keep the chicken from eating and drinking and really do not work. Not good in my opinion. My bird stopped eating when I choked him with a collar. Tons of complaints about how fussy that collar is getting it adjusted just right and working the way it is said to work. Maybe put a tight belt around your neck and see how you feel in a week.

There are also at least two members of this site that reported their roosters died when trying a no crow collar. Be careful!

As I have said already on this thread.... They are my chickens. I will care for them how I see fit. I don't want him to be scared to crow. I don't mind the crowing. I just don't want quite so much of it. And the crow collars are designed to prevent choking and hurting the bird. Also from videos of them that I have seen, roosters seem to have no trouble eating, drinking, or even mating with the collars on. I have looked into them lots, and it sounds like the best option for my rooster and myself.

Yes, I do as a matter of fact keep chickens in my house. Not all of them, but some. That is a personal choice that I do not expect anyone to understand.

As I said, thank you for the idea and advice, but I am not willing to hose down my pet just for doing what roosters do. I don't want him to feel afraid to crow. Or afraid of me even. But thanks anyways. I'm glad you found something that works for you. I am going to be trying to do the same.

Thank you for the warning. I will be sure to keep a close eye on him whenever he has it on, while I am testing it out on him.

The hosing down only lasts 3 days. The silence lasts forever. Mine is quiet now and we are friends again. I also taught my dog NOT to bark. Its my opinion that people who let their dogs bark and upset the neighbors are not good dog owners and should not own dogs.
You must live far from other neighbors to allow your bird to make such a racket. If I lived close by I would not be happy as the reason I moved to the country was to hear piece and quiet not barking and crowing. Like I said it was just a few days training to let the rooster know I did not like the noise, he understood and adjusted his crowing to ONLY ONE TIME while in the coop at first light. Which is fine by me. Maybe crowing and barking is "natural" but no one wants to hear it and the animals can be trained NOT to do it. Or should I say the owners need to be trained? How did you train your birds not to crap on the carpet and furniture?
