Thank you!
Thanks, man!
U will got to heaven
Thanks, I won't be getting one. Sounded like he was choking
@@sineadwall5115 sometimes it’s necessary, a little choking never hurt no one 🤫
Glad you thoroughly discussed options with him so that he could make an informed decision for himself
My rooster sleeps in a dog cage inside the house until he gets his morning vocal exercises out. He lets out occasional crows in the midday but I think it's made him more tolerable for my neighbors.
Good idea! Thanks for sharing
I just want to say THANK YOU for such a thoughtful, comprehensive video about crow collars! It's clear you have a love and passion for your flock and family, but also an understanding that sometimes an intervention is necessary or the other option would dead/rehomed rooster.
I struggled with the ethics of trying one of these collars, but the alternative would be much worse (i.e. in some random farmer's stew pot). I'm hoping I can make it work! I have nice neighbors, but don't want to push my luck. Thanks for the before and after examples!
It's been 8 months, how did the collar work out?
Yes update please
I'm afraid the reality is, the videos author thinks that because he made an effort, he is now the caring neighbor who solved the problem, when in realty, the rooster may still be entirely too loud. I'm sure he means well but like many here, he is in denial and not thinking things through.
Just remember, you may be driving your neighbor up the wall, and are completely oblivious of the extent of it all.
I live in a quiet suburb. A month or so ago, my neighbor got a rooster and chickens. The rooster perches on the fence dividing our properties and crows about 12 ft from my bedroom window around 5:30am every morning. Roosters and chickens are illegal in my city. I have been struggling with pulling the trigger and calling code enforcement to shut my neighbor's stupid rooster operation down. But he's this old Chinese man who doesn't speak English very well and I feel bad whenever I think about causing him trouble. I figure he might be sad if he has to say goodbye to his rooster and chickens. I've been struggling with this. I want to be compassionate, I want to find a way to let him keep them without them being annoying. But judging by the sound difference in this video, I don't think the collar will help in my case since the rooster crows like 12 ft from my window. So I either have to put up with this sound forever or just force the neighbor to give up his stupid flock. Like why man? Why couldn't he just follow the law? I don't want to ruin anyone's day, but I shouldn't have to put up with this awful noise right outside my window. I think...I might bring the hammer down and contact the authorities today.@@jackm6307
@@awesomeojoe123Had to answer this one right away. I feel terrible for you...this would be one of my worse nightmares. The man could be thinking a few things, a few of which you mentioned as well as maybe he's thinking "they'll think I'm just a lonely old man and though I do know the law, I can just play stupid and maybe they'll leave me alone." If that is the case, he's asking way to much of you and probably other neighbors. Problem is, though an old man would be more likely to know fair play, it is possible he doesn't, but the Chinese especially are know for being courteousness so hard to say.
All I can tell you for certain, you just can't let this happen. The police can and likely will in many cases pretend it's not you or even someone close by, but that it's bothering people far away so he can also make the point if it bothering those people way over there, it's probably really bothering his direct neighbors a lot, but they're too nice to say anything. Get with the acting officer and set something like that up if it works for you and don't worry about it.
Remember, all else aside, he's treading on you, not you on him. For all those who think you're mean, let their peace be destroyed by the garage band next door, 12 feet from their window...then think again...or whatever it takes to destroy their peace., whether it be noise or whatever.
Thank you for this video. My daughter’s favorite chick just crowed this morning (about 5 weeks old). She’s devastated. We have great neighbors so I’m hoping they’ll be willing to deal with some noise from our guy if we can get it at a reasonable volume.
I’m so blessed that my closest neighbors moo. Russell is gorgeous & obviously very loved but it is sad that your neighbors are bothered by such awesome creatures.
He's very quiet compared to my neighbour's rooster which called out every minute to every three minutes
My neighbour's rooster is quiet now so they probably bought a no crow collar
@Truelove roosters don’t crow at 3am. They crow with the sunrise. Like u, they also WORK & value their sleep.
People are funny 😆 They name themselves words they know nothing about. If u weren’t so bitter you’d have love in your life. And if u had love in your life u wouldn’t be bothered by Gods alarm clock. It would remind you that God watched over u thru the night & gave u the opportunity to see another sunrise so that u could go out & do good in the world instead of complain from sunup to sundown. I pray God blesses u with true love.
@@victorybase5847 we have roughly seven roosters. They can start crowing as early as 3am and continue throughout the day on average about every 12 seconds 😂 I don’t mind them unless they wake me up, then I chase those wonderful gods creations away 😤😂
My neighbor's are wonderful, but understandably bothered by Kyle's bragging every 15 minutes
I've been using this for a year with great success. The only thing I hate is that the rooster's skin underneath the collar will get crusty easily so I take it off about every 2 weeks to clean it off and let him rest for a day.
What brand did you purchase ?
Same here.
I raise a critical breed to try and help keep it on the planet.
My roos are five times more valuable than the hens, due to them being a favorite in cockfighting.
Nobody knows I raise them except others who are trying to rescue the breed. Everyone thinks they're run of the mill chickens.
I used "no crow" (the NoCrow brand) and those things rubbed my roo's necks raw in days.
Because they are what they are, and are being kept in the most secure housing, (built just for them) they don't need most of the vocalizations they'd normally employ.
My veterinarian de-crowed four of the five.
Mine can't be made aware of one another or they'll beat themselves to a pulp trying to get at each other, in which case they'll beat the literal pulp out of each other.
It's difficult to preserve something that's hell bent on destruction.
@@deannacrownover3 what kind are they
Wow
@@Johan.V10 Cobra Asil
Thank you for this! I'm preemptively looking for a solution to be able to keep inadvertent roosters from becoming dinner.
Loving the name of your rooster. Our big one is called Roo Paul.
Haha, that's brilliant!
HAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Slay! The shade of it all... LMAO
Very comprehensive video!!! Thanks so much and will be looking to buy some for my guys. I am in the same situation; in town with loud boys and I just don’t like the alternatives :-(
Shock Collars for neighbours? I think that's the way forward!
How considerate and neighborly of you. I'm sure you're everyone's favorite.🙄
Thank you for providing such an informative review! I’m brand new to chicken keeping and love roosters and the sound of their crowing, but we’re fairly new to this suburban neighborhood and don’t want to upset our close neighbors, most of whom we’ve never even met, so have been concerned about what we’ll do if any of our young chicks turn out to be roosters. After tuning in to your review, I’ve decided that not only will we keep 1 or 2 unexpected roosters if we wind up with any, but even if all of our chicks turn out to be hens, as we’d hoped, I’ll order both a rooster and a no-crow collar for him.
Unless you have enough space and hens, more than one roster will most likely result in dead or seriously injured roster(s).
If you have neighbors to consider, I wouldn't voluntarily get a rooster as you'll likely end up with one of you keep raising chickens and get new chick's over the years.
One roo for 10 plus hens or you'll probably have rooster fights
@@chris2790 Thanks for the good advice; sorry it took so long to finally see it! Btw, we did wind up with 1 of our 13 chicks turning out to be a rooster, then lost 2 hens to coccidiosis. The rooster is a Buff Orpington, so I was hoping he’d be docile due to his breed and the fact that he was the sweetest and calmest of the flock as a young chick, but now that he’s maturing (he’s 17 wks. old), he’s begun to sporadically attack some of the hens over the past month, suddenly reaching over and roughly biting & yanking on their combs and necks, and tearing feathers out without warning. We’re hoping it’s just a puberty thing, but if he doesn’t calm down soon, he’ll have to go. ☹️
@@laattardo Thanks so much; will keep that in mind. See my reply to Chris above.
@chellsgram sorry you had problems with some of the chicks. Unfortunately it can happen. Also, look into nocrow collars if you're worried neighbors
We have a rooster named David. The kids love him and so does my wife and me. We can hold him. Loves to be pet while he's eating and even be heald sometimes. One of the neighbors I over heard made a comment about it being illegal. We don't want to get rid of him. Should we just hide him in the garage?
Yea, totally understand your dilemma! So similar here. I hope this might help you.
@@TheIntegratedGarden do you have a link to the exact collar ? It won't load on my phone
Make rendang ayam
Are you sure its illegal? Or did they tell you so you can get rid of rooster?
@@gmac8395 where I live in New york it's actually 100 percent illegal. Had to get rid of the poor guy
The Urban Rescue Ranch here on youtube actually had his rooster die because the neck muscles became too weak. He would give the bird a break from the collar but just not enough. So i would say to be cautious of that, to give the bird a break from the collar frequently.
To try and see the difference you can use a automotive hose clamp. Wrap it in soft fabric to cushion it. You can test your results. Ive had 3 roosters at the same time using them. They don’t come loose like velcro and are very easy to adjust. When you put it on him simply tighten it until like a loose watch on your arm. He will lower his head and try to back out out it repeatedly. Within an hour he forgot its there. If he’s still loud simply tighten little by little. When its on properly adjusted a Coturnix quail are louder than the rooster. The velcro version always comes loose in my experience. And you dont need a $28 strap to get it done.
Can you please explain what you used to wrap it and how u did it?
I have that strap and it does help. I also put a bandana on him this week because I can't find the strap. The bandana is pretty cool, he looks cool. He did the walking backwards thing the first few times. I love Marvin. I'm keeping him.
What is the brand?
Did the bandana work at all?
i tried the bandana hes been acting sped for 10 mins now😂 attacking it
I think it's so messed up how you have to do this just because neighbors.
Where I live neighborhood dogs are just more noisier. Every few hours they bark at least 10-20mins.
People nowadays have nothing better to do but legit wait for reasons to complain about something
I am one of these neighbors. Fuck roosters. I've been losing sleep for days and find it harder and harder to focus on work. Fuck roosters.
@@6rasta6bhoy6100% what if you are shift worker. These roosters have it better than most of their kind.
@@6rasta6bhoy6 i have no hens. only roosters..
The common variable I keep seeing is people DO NOT FIT THE ROOSTER COLLAR TIGHT ENOUGH then claim they do not work.
They sound pretty choked up In the after video...
Its crazy here in the usa we can have barking dogs nonstop.. i dont get it
I live in urban place and its never a problem the lauoder they croak the better
Great review, thank you!
I have a house roo. I've had a no crow since I got him. He survived AE and is visually impaired and has mobility issues but has a great life. He can see some but with his limp, he would be toast if he was in peril. I bought the collar as soon as I took him in at 2 weeks old. I haven't needed it but he has begun responding to my neighbor leaving for work at 3am. So I am going to put it on but I was wondering if I can use it at night and take.it off in the morning. After he adjusts to wearing it of course.
Yes, that should work just fine.
@@TheIntegratedGarden I've been using it 24/7 for 2 weeks now and have been slowly tightening it but it really has only dampened the sound. I got it to where I can't really stick a finger comfortably so I hope to go a hair tighter at night and leave him naked during the day since his night crowing hasn't stopped. It's at 3:10 on the dot and lasts for maybe 3 minutes but it's enough to warrant intervention.
Stop that cruel practice you moron! Leave your crow alone. Give him to a rehab place if you cannot handle him. Another disgusting practice!!!
most of all roosters are killed everyday, because they make noises like us people , dog's bark all day long Lol, loud car engines are hard to deal with, people must be so racist against chickens 🙏😢🙏
FR, people will jump up and down about a rooster crowing but they have a dog that barks it’s ass off at everything for hours and do nothing !
Ngl I have a neighbour dog I wanna shoot cuz It barks for hours even the owners got annoyed with it but still won’t train it to shut up
@@AngrySeagullBoi the states n government today sure love more control over us , they don't like it when we raise our own food, like meat chickens , having our own eggs which really saves , they want these big companies to get rich, Neighbors can turn up their music till 10 o'clock at night or more, yet nothing happens, I remember when people had chicken n roosters in a small backyard, the kids really love their chickens n rabbits , nobody would be in their business. The states , and Countys today they love getting our taxe money ,I'm wondering what are we getting in return , I know more Restrictions.
Can you get a no bark collar for loud, constantly barking dogs?
My cock is an orpington, it doesn't crow much, it only crows late morning.
Russell "Crow" is so cute. We adopted an awesome rooster years ago whose name was Greggory "Peck" & Mrs. Peck.lol. Thanks for your video very helpful. Greetings from Australia.
How far down the neck from the head should the collar be mounted?
I live in the country a mile from anybody else, I have three roosters and 15 hens. At about 3:00 in the morning the Banty starts crowing. They all crow until the sun comes up. I believe it's their religion, I think they believe that they are actually making the sun rise by crowing. I'm beginning to be able to tune them out, but they wake up my dogs, and then the dogs want to go out. So yes crowing roosters are a pain. But the hens voted to keep them.
Thanks for the info... and I love his name! Brilliant!
Thank you for a great assessment, You helped me decide against getting this for my roosters.
We are training our young bird with the nocrow collar. The first one we got was too big, so while we wait for the smaller collar, we are putting it on him anyhow, to get him accustomed to the feeling of the product. We hate that it’s needed to do this to him, as roosters are the best protection a flock can have. Their crow is a warning to predators; “I’m here, pal… stay away”…
❤❤❤❤❤
Update; with the smaller collar (he’s right in the middle, size-wise, but the smaller NOcrow is more narrow as well, and that made the difference with him), his volume has been at least cut in half. He’s no louder than our loudest hens. My neighbor to my rear let me know, if i hadn’t brought it up, he’d have never taken the time to listen for it. So it working well!
bro if anything a rooster is warning real predators hes there 😂 even in the wild roosters still sing and they try to elaborately sing between trees and bushes and shit so it muffles it but just enough for the hens to hear and get attracted
Actually they never crow to warn predators. They crow when nothing is going on to hear the sound of their own voice. They crow in answer to another roosters crows. They can crow continuously for hours from early morning from 2am to whenever they feel like shutting up. They can crow all day or at least hours at a time. But when a predator is circling they run for cover and hide and don’t make a sound. I have up to 100 roosters during grow out season most end up in the pot, some go to homes some are used for next season’s breeding. But from this season every single one is wearing a collar because the neighbours can’t handle it and quite frankly neither can I.
@@elisabethbednarczyk2139 i wholeheartedly disagree. Major studies have shown a crow isn’t just a crow. Roosters have many different vocalizations, which all mean something different.
For instance, the standard crow call, the one we all know as the “cock-a-doodle-doo”, is meant to tell his girls that all is well. Time to rise, forage, lay eggs. Most roosters have a screech crow, which signals danger. When they use this crow, witness all your hens vanish, unseen until the all-clear crow is given. They will also grunt-crow, or growl-crow, signifying caution. In addition, they will call to their birds, to signal treats, or the discovery of a juicy worm or grub. I’ve only had chickens for 4 years, but I’m lucky to have neighbors who don’t mind our Silkie rooster. We took off his collar, because of the neighborhood hawks. He was unable to properly warn the girls to danger. We’ve never had a neighbor complain. In fact, free eggs will always help smooth any negative neighbors.
The only time our little rooster is calm is when crows are nearby. He’s learned that crows are his allies. Their presence is a sign that they will warn him of hawks before he spots them. He’s able to dust bathe, forage more, and relax a little.
In the end, I’ve noticed many different crows, squalls, squawks, and grunts, which all have meaning to the hens. They look to him for their safety. Before we had a backyard rooster, the birds weren’t together, they weren’t aware of their surroundings. And we lost birds. Now, we have the yard boss, and he does his job well.
very helpful video, thank you for making it. this roo will not go to a orphanage
I brought two rooster collars just now for my two roosters. Ever since I got a noise complaint from my neighbors (because we live in the city), I got paranoid and tried every article I found online: double the walls so noise couldn’t penetrate outside, close off any lights, make sure he doesn’t see lights… but all in vain.
I’m just wondering if he can still eat even with the collar on? Or should I remove it first?
They can definitely eat with the collar on. Don't fret about it. The only rule he mentioned ensures that they have room to eat. Mine are still loud to me, but they're definitely not crowing at top volume.
Put him in a milk crate overnight he can’t lift his neck enough to crow in the early morning no collar needed
@@nowirehangers2815 lol that's kinda fucked 😂
@@nowirehangers2815 But they crow all day, not just the morning....
I have had the same luck 🍀 of raising chicks to discover three times so far I have a rooster 💔 I thought I heard it was a cruel practice. You made me want to consider one this time I have discovered I have another Rooster. Thank you ☺️
I'd rather hear a rooster than a barking dog 🤷♀️
True dogs get more annoying over time than a rooster for me
They work great, you have to adjust it properly
I had a wonderful silkie rooster that never crowed. Too bad my neighbors dog got in my yard and murdered him. 😭. Now the silkie roosters I have never shut up.
It is sad we put up with barking dogs but a crowing rooster is disturbing. BUT I bought it and I am using it.
Our neighbors suck. They all have dogs that "get off" and run around outside our house or come at us like they will attack.. Pitbulls OF COURSE...
Yet they complained that they could hear chicken sounds from our house. Which is so annoying because they are indoors and bantams. Literally fit in our hands. Some neighbors/some dog people can really suck. Considering one of our neighbors feeds stray cats that go around messing with everyones stuff. Cant wait to get more rural
What a BEAUTIFUL rooster 🐔😍
That sounds dirty
I have a Silkie rooster that I bought the collar for. I have yet to get the placement and tightness perfect. He continues to crow, just as loud as possible. There is a very slight decrease in volume, but not yet enough. The fluffy feathers around his neck really have made it difficult to get the collar just right.
same😂
My BCM (hen) was tapping on the picture of your black rooster like she wanted to order it. Haha
I showing my 2 rooster what I might be them if they keep it up.
Can this work on hens. My hens are unbelievably noisy, since i let them ouy of the run thats all they want to do is free range and get severely noisy if o dont lst them free roam the garden every day. I let them out in the morning for a hour and put them back in the run but sometimes they are still not satisfied and this level of noise isnt ok for the neighbours
Never tried, but if you are referring to that rhythmic loud clucking they do, I do not think this will work. This is designed to help suppress the big expansion of the area made by a rooster when crowing. Our rooster is able to do all of the other noises chickens do, including alarm calls and that rhythmic loud clucking, and just as loudly. It is specifically effective on crowing only.
Hope that helps, and sorry about your challenging situation there!
@@TheIntegratedGarden i have three hens purchased two and they have been significantly quiter 🤷♀️🤷♀️ lol 👌👌
I have two seriously annoying, noisy cackling hens, too. They’re called Moana (short for Remoaner) and Mala (short for Kama** ). And a real pretty sweetiepie called Lania. 😉
Looking to get a rooster and a no crow. Might call it dot dot Brandon. 😅
@@amandar7719 make sure u invest in a good set as i got some cheap ones. I dont know how but maybe the other hens pecked at it or herself. But it frayed and wrapped around one of my chickens lower beak clamping it open. It was awful but thankfully she was ok.. I took them off after this so maybe even keepingvthem on tjem for a shirt period helps but maybe read rebviews if purchasing off the Internet. My chickens have settled down no noise atall with a routine of letting them out and darkening the coop with a few gaps for air. They seem happy with thier routine of bein let out at a set time each day and i dont let them out to early either . I extended the time bit by bit so they getblet out at specifi6time now not to early. With the black out covering everything has ran smoothly. Except for the other dsy and that storm blew the roofing off but they was alerting me. "Buk bukb bukaak" bless them. 🙏 There was nothing i could do at the time but i got two old swimming pools and bricks to hold them down. It seemed to do the trick
I'm so glad it's not just me! I have 6 hens, 3 of them are SO loud sometimes. 2 of them scream and sound like they are evil little demons, or being hurt/upset.
I do love it when they do their loud clucking though that is a typical chicken sound
Our little accidental rooster is a bantam. Is the pinky finger tightness still good for him, since he’s so much smaller?
Great question, since you're dealing with a different proportion of space. I would still use that to measure, but perhaps allow it to be pretty tight on your pinky finger.
As with every situation, monitor him carefully to see how he is doing with it.
Ok rooster owners, every time your roo crows I set off my customized loud car alarm, and I do mean each and every single time he crows. That would be quite annoying wouldn’t it? Have some consideration for other people.
Oh but a dog can constantly bark ?
My Rooster is starting to crow around 4:30, his big and loud, it's really distracting and starting to affect our sleep.
Do you have a phd in how not to get to the point? This is like a TH-cam shorts worth of content that took up 10 min of my life to sees if this is a product I want… wow…
We have an unfriendly cockerel! We managed to get this on but then found him laying flat and lethargic. The strap was caught in his beak forcing it open
Great video! Give my regards to Russell Crow! Thank you!
To be honest I don't give a shit about my neighbor,my rooster free crowing what ever he wanted cause I really enjoy the rooster crowing
Great video. Can you share the website where you purchased the collar. Thank you
This is great information, I have 2 roosters but one just will not shut up he is clearly obsessed with his voice and I need him to cool it, if less frequent is all I can get then I'll take it otherwise loudmouth is destined for the soup pot especially since he's picking favorites and over mating several of his ladies
Hi Bud
Thx for your video. How far up or rather jow high should I put the rooster collar?
Thx Andre
people are so mentally unstable that rooster call bothers them.
Hello, Do you have a recommendation for a collar? I do my shopping on Amazon, so hopefully there may be something there
NeverMind, I read previous response. Thank you
Great commentary, thanks. But the crow collar only helps with one of the issues of keeping a male... what do you do about fertilized eggs?
Greetings! Thanks for the comment. Fertilized eggs are not actually an issue at all.
Why don’t you want fertilized eggs? Most eggs in the store are fertilized and everyone eats them. Plus you can hatch your own chicks and sell the eggs for more since they are fertilized.
You're eating chicken semen oh no lmao you'll live
It’s so sad that we can’t have rooster I have 3 we don’t have to tell anyone I do also use a collar and put them in a sleep box
Thank you great instruction
I just got a silkie rooster today and already a person called the city on him. I hate to get rid of him. 😢
I wouldn’t recommend this , my rooster died from this collar
I came here to see if it works not to hear you talk for ever and in the very end I learned absolutely nothing new thanks
I would just mainly need it at night because during the day it's fine I just really early like 430 am they make too much noise I have 4 and don't want to get rid of them
We eat all our chickens and roosters they all taste the same. It seems so strange to me that you guys don't but to each his own. Nice video.
Best video yet start to finish!!
If its about preventing expansion, a lighter fabric would seem much better than thick velcro. A light canvas or strong cotton with some velcro strips. Some idiot made a longer, heavy one which reportedly killed the rooster from damaging it's neck.
My rooster crows the neighbours complain I put him under a milk crate at night he can’t stretch his neck to crow in the morning issue solved
I’m going to try that tonight thank hope it works
What is the manufacturer of the yellow collar
No Crow Collar
@@TheIntegratedGarden thank you
Do you have a link for this collar
I thought we were going to see the video of him crowing?
What is the cause a roster start crowing gap of two three days
Philippines needs these
How wide are these
About an inch and half.
People that don’t like roosters never had one.
9:19 for the before and after.
Some of you have a good attitude towards the issue, yet others just dont get it. Even @Theintegratedgarden seems to think just because he made an effort that the problem is solved when it very likely is not. Though people with roosters, dogs, etc tend to view someone who loves there peace and quite as the bad guy, some are actually very good people/neighbors. It's always easier to deal with a problem by doing very little or nothing, and then blaming it on the victims.
People are not all the same, and noise is something that has actually been used as a torture tactic so once even a good neighbor endures enough, and because they don't want to make waves by confronting a neighbor, the only option is either relocation into the wild, a shelter or the very tough and unfortunate decision to make the innocent noise maker "go away".
I love people and animals, as well as reasonable peace and quite, and I only wish people could put themselves in the shoes of people like myself. Sure the noise may not bother you because it benefits you to have a noise maker as well as noise simply does not bother some people, but it does bother others tremendously. Blame the victim and come up with all the excuses we like but the bottom line is, the one responsible for the noise makes the first offensive move, and they are where the buck both starts and stops. IOW, they are responsible for both the beginning and the end result of the issue.
Please be considerate of others.
Thanks for the comment, Jack. I agree with you. I will just make one amendment: The collar did indeed fix the issue. It is barely audible from a neighborly distance at all now. No different than a regular chirping bird in a tree. And (this is a key factor), I know my neighbors. Great thing to do this day and age in this separatist, toxic individualist culture we are in currently.
Also, I absolutely love animals, but I love people much more. So if someone has an issue, I'm doing something about it as much as I possibly can. That's just my way of fulfilling "treat others as you'd like to be treated", and "love your neighbor as yourself".
This is why I won't play into the whole suggestion that people are being unreasonable. These roosters are loud, and very early. Having some of the closest people to me struggle with real insomnia battles, I get it.
@@TheIntegratedGarden Thanks for the conscientious reply, TIG. Knowing your neighbors, and the ability to read how they really feel, about things is huge here, and it sounds like you have things well under control. I was mainly concerned not about your actions so much but the general comments from people that genuinely don't understand how easy it is to shrug it off as "They're just mean" towards those who are bothered by noise when nothing could be further from the truth for many. There are mean people, but for many, they cannot help how they feel and they are caught between a rock and a hard place and afraid people will think the mean. The whole situation can be very stressful to good people. And yes, the "do unto others" says it all, it may not fix all, but eventually it could and is the best way to go. Glad you were able to make things work.
Roosters actually speak English. The say:
I--WANT--TOOO---BEEE---DINNERRRRR!!
My grandmother granted this wish to a good many of them.
Thank you for sharing, you answered my questions. I've been worried able lack of air, circulation, feather loss, irritation. I wish I could keep my rooster without this device, but I have to do something, and resorting to surgery to sever his vocals 😢 is not something I look forward to doing.
Choking a little bit and skin irritation is much better than surgical vocal removal always in my book
@@AustinAOkay that’s kinda like saying condoms and pulling out is better than a vasectomy. Lol weird analogy but it’s what came to mind
WTH?!?!?
Looks Just like my Martin! I’m having the same problem now. I know dogs in the neighborhood can be problems too with her barking nonstop but they can be stopped on like a rooster you can’t just tell it to be quiet. After watching this video I felt a little gut wretched to put a collar on my little man just for strutting his stuff.
I don’t think there is a massive difference in between the before and after loudness, in terms of annoying the neighbours. LOL! 😂
You'd need to hear it first hand I think. Big difference, and enough to make it no longer an issue.
@@TheIntegratedGardenyou really cant tell from the video.
What would you suggest for a silkie? I got an oopsie named Robert Smith.
My neighbours have a rooster less then 20 Feet from our fence line. We have no peace and quite in our back yard and if our windows are open in the summer we have no escape from the crowing.
Same. Except for us it’s DOGS
@@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens I know. It's hell on earth. Call your animal control officer. I did and the dog got sold. (Edit: barking dogs are regulated even in the countryside).
Call your animal control officer. They can fix it.
I have chickens and roosters (and cattle), but I live in farmland. I would never subject my neighbors to loud animals in a suburban area. I like happy neighbors.
My new neighbor has a rooster and it’s cool and all but when that thing starts yelling big at 4am and won’t stop till like 9 am….drives me fuckin nuts lmao
Why is my rooster suddenly attacking all the hens and another male chicken?
They all grew up together everything was okay until 4days ago. It's too the point that i can't keep him with them anymore. I am keeping him alone in another coop
Maybe he's molting and just naturally pissed off
You must have plenty 9f chickens so the roosters won't fight each other but if he is mating it may look like he is attacking the chickens but in reality he is mating, but if he is attacking all of them maybe he has anger problems and mental disorder.
@@l.g.72 my rooster was a ladies man, honestly the funniest rooster I’ve ever owned, he would chase after them in the morning first thing and would do anything to please them, never attacked me or my family. Such a goofy but beautiful boy he was😂
I’m really sick of weak people around the world. Rooster ban is very stupid and selfish idea . Honestly hen are more annoyed than roosters. Most people who hate roosters alway claim they love animals. What the?
Russels wise words are well taken. What a sharp looking dude!
looks like a polish immigrant
@@jamiehamilton6887why come to his channel ? Ur prideful and 🪼 jelly someone’s complimenting his way of thinking of others to help us bird owners. 😂
You missed how to put it on and where . High, low?
At approx 7:45 - 8:25 you can see the positioning, and I like to sit the collar a little on the low side, but there really is no exact science to it.
Very thorough, ty
How long before the rooster settles down? He keeps flapping and backing up like he’s trying to get it off his neck. He stops for ten minutes and then does it again. I started loose, I can get my ring finger under instead of the pinky to start slow.
I have a bantam rooster who I raised from a chick with several other different breeds . He has NEVER crowed I had one giant white and black BRAHMA rooster who was RAPING my BANTAM ! I ate the BRAHMA and still to this day the BANTAM has never crowed ! Is this normal I believe the bantam was traumatized and has never got over it !
THIS IS great information!!! thanks, i will give it a try bc no one wants a roo. I’m new to chickens and everyday brings more to learn… and worry about~
Have you had any ingrown feathers
Nope. Not that I have seen.
So, you're choking your chicken?
@@Lordskeep We're applying a collar that is only tight on him when he expands his diaphragm to crow. :)
I got a question, what about maintenance? Must I take it out regularly to maybe wash it or something? Or do I just leave it there? Does it damage the rooster if it gets wet, as in maybe develop some humidity fungus or something?
The material dries out quickly, so no worries about wetness. Some folks say they need to take the collar off every few weeks to give the rooster a quick break and clean the collar. I didn't find that I need to do that nearly as often.
Hope that helps.
I put a no crow collar on my rooster and he was still crowing low, but today in the morning April 12th I found him dead. I felt bad my wife started crying.
Oh sorry to hear that
Oh, I'm so sorry... I've heard of this happening on occasion, that's why im rehoming...😪
I'm sorry about your rooster
I'm still doing it. Id rather him die during an effort of saving his life than have to kill him myself or lose all my chickens....
My Damn husband didn't check with our town and our property is too small to have our chickens....any of them....so all their lives are at risk right now bc of Themi Lovato
@@wordsretainpower6250 put him under a milk crate at night he can’t stretch his neck to crow in the morning
Did u do the pinky size of him?
Wonderful video. Can you explain here where is the rally correct position on the neck. Totally deep opposite the crop or higher above the bone?
Good question. No one typically specifies on instructions, but I do believe the best results come when it is placed around the neck on the deeper/lower side, down by the crop.
Wonder if it will work on a crowing hen?
Our rooster got the bottom of his beak under the velcro. And so he walked with his mouth open. what went wrong?
Oh wow! That sounds rough. The collar might be a bit too loose and not positioned enough under his feathers. That's my guess without seeing it first-hand.
He probably went to peck at it, and got his beak stuck under it because of the space under his collar.
@@TheIntegratedGarden I will give it a new try tomorrow! Thanks for your advice!
I'll bet he didn't crow at least😅
Seems to have damaged his vocals
Not at all. If I remove the collar his regular crow perfectly returns.
