Thanks for watching!
My sister uses a no-crow collar and it works okay. I just wish people didn’t mind the sound of a rooster. I think it’s the best sound!
+Welcome to Chickenlandia - I'm definitely cool with the crow. We'll take it off after we fully test it out to see if it really works.
Same here... I think a roosters crow sound very majestic.
@@whitehouseonthehill I figured you were! Most chicken people are. :-) My sister also has a white silkie rooster and he still crows but it's just quieter.
@@dunestaniszewski2300 It is!
yeah I bought one BECAUSE I wanted to listen to him all day. turns out he's quiet all day and only Crows at night 😂😂
Poor baby Tin Man! I'm glad he's safe with the pheasants now.
+Welcome to Chickenlandia - me too. I think they'll enjoy each other's company.
R.I.P
R.I.P
He died
Raised chickens half of my life. (71). Two roosters with hens in a small area is usualy not advisable. Tin man was suffering pretty good. He couldnt get away. Myself i would make another coop and give Tinman his own hens. Im soft. Hope hes ok with the pheasants now. ;) There always seems to be a new challenge with animals.
+glenncountry - he's got his own space now with the pheasants.
i agree.
the silkie roo was bloody too at end of vid. definitely too many roos for small areas
Yeah I didn't like the blood all over the silkies head I have silkies and I don't like blood all over him
@@whitehouseonthehill aw Cute names
We’ve always quarantined a hurt fowl until it heals completely. If they have even a slight injury the other fowl will continue to hurt them. It’s just their way. We have a pen we call the hospital that we can put the injured fowl in by themselves. No matter who you put them with until they heal they are vulnerable.
I've used a crow collar on my city rooster. My flock was turning into thunderdome without a roo. It works well, but be sure to check often because poultry lice will congregate under the collar.
Why do you have to shorten a word as simple as ‘rooster’ …..a ‘roo’ is a Kangaroo anyway….
@@milesstover3724 the real question is WHY do you care?
@@milesstover3724 roo works for most of us. I usually call kangaroos Kangas.
@@j.l.thurman2725 I just remember roo depends on what the convo is about, if it’s about Aussie animals then it’s a kangaroos while if it’s about chickens/poultry it’s a rooster!
I thought Silkies were sweeter chickens, yours is a hit man !
Even the sweetest animals have a bad side.
One of my worst offenders was a silkie rooster. I was the one that raised him from a chick and fed and watered him, gave him treats and he still flogged me every time I turned my back. He has finally stopped now that he is an old man!
I have said it in a prior episode. Silkie roosters like that are culled in breeding programs. I currently have 3 roos hitting 6 months from hatch. All 3 are starting to crow. 2 are aggressive, 1 is well-natured lady caretaker. The latter will not be culled. The former 2 are considered major faults in the breed that should not be perpetuated in a fancy bantam.
The Silkie is doing what he is supposed to do protect his flock
Lol I just imagined him, belly on the ground, high up somewhere and aiming a rifle at the other rooster, peeping through the scope haha.
I got silkie chicks who were supposed to be all hens, almost immediately I knew one was a rooster. He was the boldest little thing! When I entered the room he ran at me like he was 20 feet tall! He became the most adorable and funny chicken I've ever had but had to find a more rural home, my neighbors would not be happy. Wish I had known about this, if it had worked I would definitely have kept him.
Great for respecting your neighbors 👍🏾
I just want to point out that at the beginning of this video, before the rooster had the collar, he had a bright pink comb that indicated healthy blood flow. By the end of this video, when the collar was fully tightened, his comb was nearly black.
Oh wow, you are right. I guess my noisy too is headed to chicken heaven
I assumed that was dried blood from the fighting
@@karmawildbirth I also thought it was blood I have a few easter eggers and 2 hens got in a scrap the other day and one of their combs looked similar. I personally do not love the idea of the collar though. I just hatched some eggs and it looks like one of them is going to be a roo which is how i ended up here. I think I will just have to put it up on FB chicken group unless he ends up being super chill. Beautiful cochin so its a shame but can't have roos in my area.
Silkie roos are real stinkers, and your Lavender orp roo is super docile. He really deserves his own flock!
I love hearing my rooster crow . I'm in the woods and I hear all my neighbors roosters crow every morning its a beautiful sound .
Whenever my rooster crows I giggle! 😂 I love that sound and I wish more people would like it!
+LunaMoona 0129 - 😀
same i have a rooster but some neiboor complained so we trie what he did it didnt work so we just left my rooster crow
I have a rooster and we have a no crow caller on him unfortunately. We love him so it has to be done in order to keep him you know.
+CSR SPRINKLES - thanks for sharing!
i feel you. i hate it so much. my boy is 8 and has lived inside his whole life bc hes a rescue and we had other roosters at the time, which meant he stayed inside. now hes so used to it, he doesnt even know how to interact with other chickens. but hes getting up there in age so i been taking him outside during the day. since im living with my grandparents in the suburbs, someone called animal control (which is dumb bc thers roosters on literally every other street in this neighborhood). i hate doing it but i have to put this on him when were outside. no one else can care for him the way i do, and hes so attached to me anyway, idk if he could handle being rehomed. and roosters end up being fought or ate anyway usually. i already rescued him from a fighter. hes such a weenie now.. he couldnt do it. i hate restricting his natural instincts, but its going to save his life, so i dont really have a choice
My trip through some of the comments was rather annoying today....
To everyone who is crowing about the rooster collar being "cruel", I ask you: did you pay close attention to the fact that he specifically said, several times, that is is meant to REDUCE crowing, not stop it completely. There IS a such thing as excessive noise, believe it or not; farm or not. They also have another baby coming from what I've read and seen, which will mean making sure things aren't EXCESSIVE to the point of unbearable.
The collar doesn't prevent him from making noise at all, just from doing so a ridiculous amount. He isn't hurting and he isn't otherwise inhibited by the collar. There IS a fine line between allowing natural behavior and tweaking unnatural or excessive behavior of some kinds. That is perfectly fine. They are taking responsibility as his owners in trying to manage his behavior instead of putting responsibility on him and getting rid of him for it.
Whether they decide to keep the collar or not shouldn't be anyone else's decision, especially anyone from the RUclips comments sections. -.-
+ElysetheEevee - we appreciate the support. Ultimately, we don't need to use it, the rooster is far enough away from the house, we barely hear it. Mostly wanted to test it out for others that might find it useful.
Well said
@@whitehouseonthehill Yeah, I understand. Mostly, it just irritated me that people kept jumping on the same piece of the topic, about the rooster being abused/cruelly treated and not commenters not fully taking in what you said about the whole thing.
If you choose to use it or don't, that is ultimately up to you. I just felt it wasn't right that so many people were taking one part out of context from the rest of what was shown in the video.
@@MstresVampy Thank you!
I agree. Iv known people who have smaller homesteads or just land and the rooster would keep them, the kids and the people who lived by them up. Iv know people who killed their rooster at night over nights of no sleep *yes they did use the food but still* roosters can be great or the newborn who never sleeps and needs to also tell you one more story all in one lol. This would help if your rooster got to that point. I dont think anyone wants silent animals but just like your dogs cats etc can bug you at 3am and they get in trouble (as much as you can...cause heck all animals know we are wimps and give in lol) you dont let your other animals be crazy if you can help it.
I've seen these and they seemed to help. Good luck! The rooster was too funny trying to get rid of the velcro! Lol!
+Simply Jan - thanks, Jan!
Silly Rooster, you can't be *Crowing at 3 in the MORNING.*
Looks like a *Hip Rooster Necklace!* 🐓🐓🐓
+Farm Alarm - he's definitely kept me company on some late nights editing
My family and i love your videos. Keep up the good work. My kids are always looking forward to your videos
Poor Tinman is in pain. Hard to see a rooster picked on...
I'd love to see more about raising ducks because I'm really interested in getting some
+Meota Meow - we'll be sure to do some videos with the ducks soon
We did use one of these on our rooster but his feathers ended up looking terrible underneath so we did finally take it off of him. Honestly, having kind neighbors is so important when you have chickens in town. Go around to your neighbors and ask them if its any bother to them if you have a chicken, specifically a crowing rooster. As long as no one has any complaints, it is do-able to have a rooster in town. A crowing rooster is no worse than a barking dog and if any neighbors are on the fence about it, invite them over, let them meet your small flock. (Also fresh eggs help as well). Its totally preference for if you want to put one of these on or not because it is not going to have any negative effects. I would not have tried it if it was harmful to his health, I just decided to discontinue using it due to the affect on the visual appearance of my rooster.
+Maggie Smith - great advice!
Eli And Uriah holding the pheasants and smiling was one of the cutest things!
I love your videos so much, you can really see how much time and effort you put into them! Hi and love from New Zealand 💕💕
+FollowMeSalsa - thank you very much!
i would say to use binders (to stop the fighting) but silkie chicken noses are so different that you need special blinders in order for them to work.
+Kali Doodle - I've seen the blinders before. That would be an interesting experiment.
I just want to say how much I enjoy your videos. I've been watching them for awhile without comment. You do a great job filming and editing. When I was fourteen I ordered a mixed box of exotic chicks from the Murray McMurray hatchery in Iowa. That was 51 years ago. I ended up with a bunch of chickens, bantams, geese and ducks. But, I haven't had any poultry since the mid- '70s when I started my working career. Keep up the good work and keep those videos coming. Here's wishing many blessings to come your way in 2019.
I love the names that you guys chose. The combination really fits. I really enjoy you're videos, they are so educational. I live in Missouri, and have Chickens, ducks, guineas and turkeys.
Noticed some cool edits in this video... I'm still learning the editing game. I have about 2 dozen videos under my belt. Each video I try to add a new technique. Enjoyed the creativeness....
+Christopher Haney - thank you! Something I worked hard to learn over the first year of making videos. Just keep exploring your editing software to make the most of it!
I’m a high schooler with a backyard flock at my parents house in a neighborhood. Until I can buy or rent land, I need to make do and respect my neighbors. I worked hard to make the setup and buy the breed I intend to raise for the long run. The breeder I got them from second guessed whether a 5 month old is a roo. Looks more like a hen but I took the chance. No crows so far. I’m hoping if it is a rooster it’ll be a less frequent crower. I’ll see how things go- unlikely someone will want a young rooster unless it’s for dinner. If it comes down to it I’ll try out a collar. If people put them on dogs with the same neck space, it’s the same when done correctly on a chicken. It is also unfair that my neighbor can lock their loud dog on the balcony from 5am through most of the day while said dog scratches at the door barking to be let back in. My town won’t do anything about it. Or the fact that like clockwork everyday 5 dogs in the neighborhood have a barking competition for an hour. If people can have barking dogs, roosters that crow at a reasonable rate and time should also be allowed. I personally think barking is very annoying. Crowing is more pleasant sounding and natural :)
Love your family, man. God bless you, and all your precious birds...makes me miss raising ducks and geese
+ѕακυяα мοςнι - thank you!
Rooster does look happy
+Mary Mojsovski - Tin Man in his new spot? Yeah, he can finally relax and get back to good health now.
Poor Tin Man. I hope he finds a new place to be comfortable. I wish more people enjoyed the sound of a rooster. It makes me smile every time I hear it. If this collar works, one of my friends will be so excited. She’s wanted a rooster for a while but lives in town. Her hens need a man 😁
+Raes of Grace - so far so good on the rooster collar, I've heard very few crows from him and he was crowing all day long. I'd say it's worth using for someone that wants a rooster but can't have the crowing. It may take a few days to figure out, but it definitely seems to work.
Thanks for trying the caller!!
I absolutely LOVE the names you chose, I didn’t think ember and aspen mixed well but ember and fire is beautiful 😍❤️💖
I love your videos I live in alabama and we use to have a farm wish I had known about you guys when we had chickens!
+Meota Meow - too late to ever get them again?
@@whitehouseonthehill Actually in your video about tin man (very sorry he was a handsome rooster) You mentioned about making your tractors and since we use so many eggs in my house I'd really like to get chickens again around spring when my feed store sells them again. I'm going to see if I can't manage to make one of your tractors and get some more hens so we don't have to buy eggs anymore! Any egg laying breeds you'd recommend?
We use a no crow collar. It works great he does still crow but our dellaware hen is way louder just talking then DewDrop is crowing. I loooove his crow but the neighbors don't
+Katie francis - one person in the Amazon review for it says he has to use two collars - one high and one low to keep the rooster from crowing. Glad it's working out for you though.
@@whitehouseonthehill thanks for the suggestion, I'm not sure it would be worth putting another one on, he's so small and it's dimished enough noone complains he also doesn't start crowing till the kids are all up getting ready for school anyway
We had neighbors in town who complained about my hens. So I got a rooster. No more complaints about the hens. These same people had 7! Yapping schnauzers! And they thought my birds were loud.
I live in a town and I can’t have a rooster...yet I have 5 😂 I’m not the only one and I know other people have TURKEYS AND PHEASANTS in town! 😂
+DuckGuide - rule breaker 😀
White House on the Hill Admit it...you would too! 😂 Neighbors haven’t complained yet...so...I’m assuming I’m fine for now 😂
White House on the Hill I’ve been trying to find a home for the 4 extra Roos....I’ve been trying since October. Nobody seems to want them
White House on the Hill If the city gets after me, they can’t say I didn’t try to rehome them. If you’d be interested in some roosters; 2-3 of them are Fibro, located in central Iowa
I made an indoor avery in my spare bedroom for the brothers...barely audible to the outside. Great alternative to keeping them outside ..no exposure to nasty weather. Neighbors are happy.
🥒🌹🐓🐔🍓 good day to you Jake, Becky & family !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventure on & off the homestead !! 🍓🐔🐓🌹🥒
+50 shades of green - thank you so much!
Poor Tin Man, Jheez that silkie needs a chill pill!
Mariam D Rooster downers may be the new thing! lol
Snowball is a mean little rooster!
It's great to see that there is a no-crow collar because out here in Cali they have a ban on how many roosters you can have by acreage. It's to also cut down the sport of cockfighting. It's good that Tin Man is doing better there. I hope you guys are well, have to catch up on vids, been very sick the last part of December and just got out of the hospital. I have to catch up on vids. Take care and hugs to you all. Anna Banana - big smile here. Thank you.
Those damn peacocks wow 😍
Your silkie rooster is so adorable! I own red jungle fowls and they had a lot of chicks in the summer. I hope tin-man gets better with the pheasants and that fire doesn't jump on him anymore :) thank you for being my favorite channel!
Great names. They go together well. Congrats to the winners.

😔Sorry about Tin man! Glad he's safe now. Great video you two! Congratulations to the winners!🙏
+Green Dream Project - thank you very much!
Roosters can be so mean! I’m glad Tinman is doing ok. Hopefully he can get a break from being picked on. Really interesting on the Velcro to stop your rooster from crowing. Thanks for sharing!
Snowball is a feisty fella!
Poor Tin Man, great video my friend. Bonner Springs is about 15 to 20 minutes away from me. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day.

Really great names for the pheasant.
hello there, I've just followed you recently, but I want to tell you that your videos are really nice. I come from the Netherlands myself and there are not many channels about chickens. so I just want to say that your videos are great fun and keep it up.🐣👍🏽
+Jip Keizers - thank you so much! We appreciate the thoughts! We're big fans of chickens and other birds... happy to share that with others.
They are designed to make them unable to inflate their crowing air sac as well as not feel good to crow. The collar is meant to fit as low on the neck as possible and kept in place by placing under the feathers.
Bought both the No Crow and the Cock Collar. Worked well, but not well enough so that my ass hat neighbors left off calling the OSPCA. We are Not allowed Roos in out city.
Congrats to the winners! Interesting about the collar. I remember talking about it when we were there. Snowball is so fluffy, I wonder if that impedes it at all?
+The Grateful Sunites - he seems to be fine with it and it has lessened the crowing. Luckily, we don't need to keep it on him, but it seems like it would work if we needed to.
Nice
+Justin Y. - thanks, Justin

Heyo! Love love love ur videos I think they are very cool and interesting 😊
+jaxy314 Ferg - thank you very much!
I don't think the collar thing seems cruel at all. We've also used a gentle leader with our dog before (which directs the dogs head to the side if he tries to pull forward, which defeats the point of pulling and helps correct the behaviour). Pretty much seems like the same thing - a device that makes undesirable behaviour less comfortable or effective, thereby discouraging it. Yeah, its "natural" for a rooster to crow, but it's also natural for the cats to be intact and no one was complaining when they were neutered. We do all sorts of unnatural things to the animals we live alongside. And I'm pretty sure we always have. I mean, even the existence of a silky rooster was probably us interfering with nature.
Think he should be called Crowbar!
+Barbara Sterling - probably more appropriate than Snowball. But hey, what the lady wants!
I'm glad you chickens are safe from the weather
+michael gillum - me too!
Tinman looked happy and cosy under that heatlamp...
+dustinfisher29 - glad we found a warm place to get him healed up!
🐓🦃🐔🐣🦆🐥🐤 Chicken , Ducks , I love your life .
love how the feed bags are made of strong brown paper, we have to put up with plastic feed bags here in NZ
CONGRATS to the winners including Tin Man!!!!!
God bless you guys
It worked on my roosters, but the Velcro has to be 2” wide to work. It didn’t stop just lowered the volume.
My Silkie roosters were also very mean and fought all the time.
I've gotta get one of those collars for my Moluccan cockatoo (aka pretty much the loudest parrot you can get lol).
+kyle myrice - that would be a tough bird to have around the house 😀
Yeah silkies get a rep for being super docile and friendly, but ive had a silkie rooster and he was the meanest ive ever had, never again! Idk what it is. Tried the no crow collar a few years ago. Didnt work so well on my BO's, just made the crow a bit softer. Good video.
Lovely birds you have there. I don't how many roosters you have, but I found it most peaceful when I had a minimum of 7 or 8 hens per rooster.
+Clive Bashford - we have 4 roosters, and they're all in separate areas from each other right now. We like to have 2, 1 for each of our 2 flocks, but we have 2 others we really like as well.
Excellent invention to hush up the squawkers. 👍🏼
The way the Silkie Rooster...will act that way when it is one him...my Barred Plymouth Rock had that one on and had same behavior until my girls ended up taking off him...they are smart.
+Elby Darkside - I think some bigger hens would put him in his place, but the Silkie hens are much smaller than him, so he remains a bully.
@@whitehouseonthehill that why I always prefer to keep they separate from everyone. And Tin Man does not have Frost Bite anymore...you did amazing job. I forgot to saying was talking about the no-crow collar and not the temper on other birds (Sorry forgot to say that). I lived in a Trailer Park and we had one but the girls are in helping him get off 1st time it worked so Dad had to use put a small Bolt and nut on it because it was also velcro. When you put the no-crow collar on them the first time that is how.they are going to act in moving when something is on them...Buster did that.
The collar needs a Bowie on it. 😂
I agree
Nice birds
We have a no crow collar but it sucks that it can’t crow it’s loudest because I love that sound
I use them. They are awesome
My neighbors can’t even deal with a radio at a reasonable level, I am sure they would go into cardiac arrest with a rooster living next door!
The ASPCA should be called on the other roosters for elder abuse on poor old Tin Man.
+Gary Burk - I'm acting ASPCA in this situation, and it's been controlled.
Lol all I see is them coming in and talking to snowball and hi. In court with a suit on and the judge saying dont be a jerk...then gets a home monitor. Or the rooster collar lol.
Poor tin man needs a nap lol.

+I Have Felines2 - the crowing? Pretty sure I was just hearing the Black Copper Marans in our main coop crow.
Great names
+Janice White - thank you!
I've used the no crow collar, and when it's at the correct tightness to lessen the sound, ours cut into the roosters neck.
When roosters smell blood on another rooster they too attack/bully him so that he doesn’t become a threat to them. It is also how they decide on the pecking order. So next time if one is hurt, put him in solitary to recover. Else they will kill him in the process, no matter what.
