The hens are very noisy after laying eggs, and if they sense danger, same thing, but for some reason, city people just have an allergic reaction to rooster's crow. Maybe that's just in the US, maybe western Europe too, but in Asia, nobody complains about rooster crowing, in city or the farm.
@@marilynmccourt6929 It's a matter of the environment in which one grew up. In many parts of the world, people just don't mind. The rooster crow is mixed in with dog barking, car horn, all kind of noises and could be right next door, on the street right in front of your house. I grew up like that so I am used to such commotion. I visited Hawaii and saw chickens running around on the streets, in people's yards, in the parks, pretty much everywhere. I loved it. But I can understand people who grew up in quiet residential subdivisions in the US would want no part of that.
my point exactly, and imo dogs are louder and bark more than a rooster crows. it's absolutely ridiculous, i used to live in the south and we had a rooster and everybody was ok with it but then we moved up north and there's super strict rules on it.
I know right?? I was looking at the laws for keeping chickens where I live, turns out you can have as many dogs as you’d like (as long as you aren’t neglecting them) but no roosters. Kinda ridiculous.
I found out that Chickens and Roosters status in law are "farm animals" while cats and dogs status in the law are "domestic pets". Chickens and Roosters, Cows and Pigs status needs to be changed!!
Thank you! Sadly all of this beautiful flock were attacked by a bobcat early one morning. We are not sure how the coop got open. We have replaced the latches and are rebuilding with a new flock this Spring. They are beautiful too, but it was very hard to lose my other flock. The city set up a trap, but it was really too small for this big cat. They tell me it is a male bobcat and he will return to mark his territory so we are being extra careful with all the animals.(I have rabbits too.) Thank you for taking the time to comment. Wish I could see your flock. cheers, Dash
Bloom Where You're Planted omg im so sorry that sucks :/ good to hear you didn't stop keeping chickens. I have 18 chickens from all kinds of breeds. Brahma, cochin, orpington, silkies, and a few tiny breeds. My rooster is a white silkie. They walk around the yard all day and seem really happy. They come when I call and they always check the grocerie bags when I get home. Ofcourse they know something in there is for them. I keep them as spoiled pets but remove the eggs tho chicks would be fun. Do you keep them for fun only? Or eggs/meat etc?
Bo sure turned out to be beautiful! I My chickens are just 18 weeks so no eggs yet. I bought 7 and 2 are roosters, sadly. The boss dude show all the signs: finding nesting spots, food, herds them but crows ALL day long. Not good. Thanks for the demo on the collar because it doesn't eliminate, just reduces the noise. 8/7/22
We got 8 chicks from a place that said 98% girl. 3 are roosters. 😔 The leader is LOUD, and crows all morning, we think car headlights, and all day. But we've researched, and removing him, will make the next dominant rooster to crow. We're trying a collar full time, 3rd day, time to tighten. But we have crows, and HAWKS around our 5th of an acre hilltop neighborhood home. So keeping him is our hope. He heads up at any niose from his hens. He's a good rooster, just heckin loud. My point was, even big chicken farms suck at sexing chicks. 3 male 5 female isn't 98%, Baxter farms!!! 11/3/22
I love my rooster! I have 3 (don’t ask) two are my favorite!! They are soo good to my girls! I have to get more lady’s for them tho. I don’t understand why rooster get such a bad rep
Thank you Brenda, sadly a bobcat attacked and killed every one of my chickens! The city still has a trap in my yard to catch and relocate the bob cat. We have started over with a new flock. They are lovely. Hope in the midst of dispair! Here is a link to our new flock:ruclips.net/video/ogXC_JDFeDk/видео.html Enjoy. Dash
Your Rooster has some Really pretty colours 😍😍😍 I once had A hen with almost The same colours 😃😉 she had A Black head and throat and red body with Black dots 😃👋🏻😃
Blue Cochins are so docile- Even my roosters were just polite birds :) Pretty birds- I want to keep multiple roosters on this build. Those collars will make that possible, thanks for the peek.
i had one growing up named Happy Feet (we called her happy) bc she looked like a penguin as a chick lol. we had nicknames for all our chooks, and we called her the lap chicken. she just wanted to snuggle allll the time. she was also special needs (she had a deformed beak, and then she had a disease at one point? i was like 10 idk, but she ran into stuff and walked in circles). we would take her shopping with us bc shed just sit in your lap, arms, or in the basket... i live in BFE, more establishments allow it than is probably acceptable elsewhere lmao
Thank you for showing how the collar works. I am researching and deciding on whether to get chickens or not. I live in a small town. They are letting us have chickens if we can keep them quiet. I want a rooster so I can reproduce for meat birds. So I am looking into a dual bird breed. There is a neighbor not far from me that has a rooster. I don't hear him when I am inside. I am waiting to see how long he will be allowed to stay before someone says something. To me it's part of being in the country. So, to me I want to blend in. So thank you.
Oh I hope you can get chickens, they are so fun to have. Good to wait & see how your neighbor fairs. No worries if you can't have a rooster though, I got fertile eggs from a friend(just traded unfertile for fertile) & we hatched them out in an incubator. So there are ways around that;)
I have a young rooster that just found his voice. I tired a two inch collar and he went crazy trying to get it off. I took it off and then put on a 1' collar. He went crazy, but not as badly. He did get used to it but it did not lower his crowing volume. So, I put on another 1" band. He went a little crazy, but not as much as the first time. His crowing is lower in volume and it seems like he tries it less now. One drawback is that he had really trusted me and let me pick him up when ever I tried. Now he is a bit afraid of me and certainly doesn't want a third collar. He is also starting to get some aggressive behavior. I tried to pick up his step-sister and he made threatening motions to attack me. He is also starting to get aggressive towards her, getting ready for his dominance. On the other hand, the adults chase both of the young ones around, especially the dominant female.
Yes, My rooster was always trying to get his off and he was not very happy with me. I don't blame him. I dont think I will use the collar again. I would rather not have a rooster. I have a quiet one now. I didn't realize some roosters are more quiet than others? No one has complained yet. cross your fingers.
try putting on the collar before he goes to sleep so that he can sleep and wake up with it and forget that he even has it on, i use this method for roosters and for hens i need to put a saddle on
Thank you for the nice video. I"m listening to my neighbors rooster crow now and I love it. Unfortunately, not all our neighbors agree. I'll forward her this valuable info. GOD bless you all 🐔🐔🐣🐣🐥 🐤🐤🐔🐔
We did too! But they did seem to suffer in the heat in Dallas Texas. Our favorite was a blue cochin. She also was down on the bottom of the pecking order for sure. A bobcat took out all my chickens so we are starting over with new ones. It is a pretty flock, but we will always miss our little blue cochin I think. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Oh wow, I bet that was funny! We don't have one on ours any more either. We used to have a grouchy neighbor but now she is hard of hearing so the problem fixed its self! Now our rooster can crow!!
I’m gonna try this. I have chicks that are gonna be inside chickens until I get moved in a couple months and I don’t wanna rehome all my Roos. I wanna keep at least 1 silkie roo.
The silkies are sooo cute! They are easy to get attached too. Just be sure to check the collar often as your roo grows. Our roo was very flighty, so he was hard to catch. The collar got tight as he grew. Happy chicken keeping. Love the sound of them cheeping! Good luck on your move. Blessings, Dash
Great, that is what we found too. That the crow is lower but still crows otherwise it is too tight! I am glad it is working for you. Be sure to keep checking it periodically if he is still growing.
I have 2 roos..they never fight with each other..they love to cuddle with me and to sleep on my lap..but the bigger one crows so loudly..as I live in a flat so it is very difficult for neighbours..i bought some velcro tape and use it as collar..it seems he is fine with it, and the sound is also reduced..
Wow I have never heard of roosters that cuddle! How fun! I am glad you found a solution with velcro. Good for you. Yes when I bought it, I thought, this is just an expensive piece of velcro. Thank you for sharing!
To make a quick & easy bird catch; #9 wire , cut 4-5 ‘straight pc ,craft a Shepard’s hook in one end, small enough to accommodate the chickens leg, spread some feed on the ground next to u, one quick grab gets a chicken every time practically with out moving , saves u running around out of breath. Works great!
My granma showed me how to make a chook wire catcher when I was about 4, am now 67 and still have them beside my chook house, best thing ever to catch the chookies!
Yes, I can relate. It doesn't bother me much because I am up early feeding the animals, but I sooo worry about my neighbors reporting me! After all they are living the city life on a Saturday which probably doesn't involve getting up and dressed and outside at 6:00 to feed animals! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Right now your neighbors are planning to murder you and stick your roosters straight up yo' ass!! Well, I wouldn't be "thinking it", I WOULD JUST DO IT!!!
I lock My roosters in the shed at night and We have rooster collars on every one of them. The roosters crow throughout the day and if I'm on the far side of the house I can't even hear them.
I thought about doing that. I heard of one guy who put his in a cage in his garage, but I can't imagine catching him every night to do that! Good idea. Thanks for commenting.
I think this is a bit cruel to the rooster. I had one too, until some one complained, and that person was not even a neighbor. All my neighbors were fine with the rooster crow. The older gentleman was actually actively working for the HOA. He walked the neighborhood every morning, both to exercise and to jot down signs of violation. So I had to give my rooster away. He actually wrote down everything, but I kept the hens anyway. Not too long after that, he died, and I never got cited for anything again. But my chickens keeping days were also over. Too many feral cats had moved in.
Yeah, very helpful. My barred rock ("Angela Merkel") was supposed to be a pullet and started crowing at just 9 weeks. I tried my best to raise lap chickens, and for the most part succeeded (except that they refused to be touched while free ranging). There are no ordinances here in unincorporated county, but with summer in full bloom, he starts crowing at 5:30 am. Not a recipe for happy neighbors. So I'm going to try collaring him each night and removing it each noon when I let them out.
Thanks for the video, I have 4 chicken and a friend recently gave us a rooster because his neighbors complained. Well see how long we can keep him before having to relocate him. Its a shame hes so loud because hes a great looking rooster.
I bought 10 chicks two months ago and now I have 9 chickens and a rooster the rooster is now starting to crow and so I’m going to buy him a collar do u recommend the collar? And they are the same breed as your favorite chicken, you mentioned it was your favorite in your parasite video where bow sadly passed away
Hi Anthony, I need to do an update video. I won't ever do a collar again. The reason is I have a neighbor that really doesn't like the noise and the rooster does still crow with the collar on, it is just about half what a normal crow would be. The temptation to keep tightening that collar as it bothers the neighbors is just too great. If you tighten the collar so that the rooster just makes a rasping sound then it is way too tight in my opinion. I think it might have been a factor in Bow's death?!? So I guess I would advise you to think about your neighborhood. Is it chill or a bit uptight? If you know what I mean. How much room do you have between houses? I think some neighborhoods it would fit in oK. just not mine. Of course I have a front yard garden so I really need my neighbors support. If they start complaining the city would be forced to act. Hope that helps. A cochin! I bet he is beautiful! I can see why you want to keep him! Blessings Dash
How did Bow die? I am also having a rooster (Buff Orpington), and he is already quite scared of me (maybe too much cuddle) even without the collar. And now he is just running around like seeing a predator. I am just somewhat sad.
Hi, Thanks for sharing this. I have used the same collar to my young Bantam rooster. He had it for 2 days and 2nd day I noticed his face with getting purple as a sign of poor blood circulation. I wasn't tight at all. Any Idea what could have caused that?
Bantams are generally a smaller breed of chicken so the collar may have been too wide. We use a collar that is less than an inch wide on our pekin bantams and always make sure the neck feathers are arranged as best possible - over the top and the ones trapped by the collar.
Hi Wendy, sorry for late reply. I had to go help a sick friend on her homestead. The farm goes on sick or not! Bo ended up dying an early death I am afraid. I think it was coccidiosis that ended up killing him because a few hens passed also at the same time before I treated the flock. However It was difficult to catch him & make sure the collar was loose enough, so that was a problem. If you had a coop you could walk into & check when he is sleeping that would be best. As he grew the collar got tighter so watch for that if you use one. I have decided not to use one again. This is what I have come up with now to have a rooster on the homestead. It is a bit of trouble but worth it to me. ruclips.net/video/qa9PZyCG3g8/видео.html Hope that helps, Dash
It didn’t turn out too well I am afraid. It was hard to catch him & check tightness of the collar as he grew. So watch for that & also keep in mind that it should be called the low crow rooster caller instead of the NO crow collar because he will still crow some. We found that if he couldn’t crow at all then it was too tight.Good luck, Dash
I have a silkie roo that just found his voice and I love him dearly I do not want to send him off to another farm for what they call freezer camp I've been keeping him in my guest bathroom the last couple weeks but he decides it's time to wake everyone up between 330 and 430 in the morning also I live in a suburban area where I am only allowed hens and a rooster that does not call I tried installation of the no crow collar and he still belts it out . Is it to low we hat am I doing wrong I really want him to stay
Hi Benjamin, I know we got attached to our roo too. I bet he is beautiful! You are not doing anything wrong I don't think. That's why I call it the "less" crow rooster caller in the video. To me, if you put it tight enough so they don't crow at all it is too tight/cruel. So even with it on they will make a crow about half what it normally is. We don't have our rooster anymore because of this. If I did it again, which I probably won't, I would put him in dog house/crate in the garage each night then let him out at a more reasonable hour so he could crow all day if he wanted. I think it is those 5:00am wake ups that made people crazy! Good luck, Dash
Yes, the collar stays on all the time night & day. Our rooster was VERY hard to catch though so unfortunately as he grew the collar got tighter. When we finally caught him to check it, it was way too tight. So watch for that.
Yes and no. It decreases the noise of the crow by half, but he still crows EARLY! If you tighten it so that he doesn't crow at all , but makes a raspy sound it is too tight and in my opinion not humane. Hope that helps. It all seems to depend on how sensitive your neighbors are.
Sorry to say, Yes you can hear his half crow in the house. I think the temptation to keep tightening the collar so that you can't hear him is too great. If you tighten it where you can only hear a raspy sound it is, in my opinion, too tight. We don't have him anymore. He died. Did the no crow collar have anything to do with that? Not sure, but I know that we will never have another rooster on our urban homestead again.
Have you guys have had any hawk issues ever since the rooster is gone? We have been trying to find a solution for that, and hear that a rooster would help. Any suggestions? it would greatly help! Thank you
Your rooster has lice eggs all over the back of his neck. If you leave that collar on him the lice will drive him crazy. You need to dip your chickens in a ivermectin dip.
We used medium. I have to warn you that Bo was hard to catch! So as he grew the collar got tighter. If you had a coop that you could walk into & get him will he is sleeping to periodically check that would be good. When we finally caught him it was very tight! I felt terrible! so watch for that. Good luck. Dash
The hens are very noisy after laying eggs, and if they sense danger, same thing, but for some reason, city people just have an allergic reaction to rooster's crow. Maybe that's just in the US, maybe western Europe too, but in Asia, nobody complains about rooster crowing, in city or the farm.
I agree! Dogs bark at all hours, cats that jump fences and try to get in my coop.... a rooster will protect his flocks.
People used to have hens and a few roosters in this urban area. But due to avian bird flu...
They are annoying when they are 15 feet from our fence line.

Thanks for showing before and after rooster crows. Your the only one who showed it.
I don't get why people can't keep a rooster in the city but, it's okay to keep cats and dogs. Dogs bark all the time and cats are so loud at night.

So true.

For forage chickens cut the grass to 3-4”, chickens don’t like tall grass bc they can’t see bugs very well. Good Luck!
Thank you for the tip!
Thanks for the tip. I know they eat the grass to the nubs, but a few areas it's over 6". So guess I'll mow it down.
I like the fluffy chickens best. Always thought they looked cool.

Too many feral cats had moved in.
Yes I agree, I don't use one anymore. Sorry to hear you had to get rid of chickens. Feral cats can be a big problem!
So I supposedly have Easter edgers that I thought were to lay blue or greenish eggs. But instead, they are pink like yours.
Yeah, very helpful. My barred rock ("Angela Merkel") was supposed to be a pullet and started crowing at just 9 weeks. I tried my best to raise lap chickens, and for the most part succeeded (except that they refused to be touched while free ranging). There are no ordinances here in unincorporated county, but with summer in full bloom, he starts crowing at 5:30 am. Not a recipe for happy neighbors. So I'm going to try collaring him each night and removing it each noon when I let them out.
Thanks for the video, I have 4 chicken and a friend recently gave us a rooster because his neighbors complained. Well see how long we can keep him before having to relocate him. Its a shame hes so loud because hes a great looking rooster.
Rooster collars totally work. Hopefully u keep him
@@anakamhi7097 We ended up relocating the hens and rooster to a rural property. He's still around and has some new friends.
I bought 10 chicks two months ago and now I have 9 chickens and a rooster the rooster is now starting to crow and so I’m going to buy him a collar do u recommend the collar? And they are the same breed as your favorite chicken, you mentioned it was your favorite in your parasite video where bow sadly passed away
Hi Anthony, I need to do an update video. I won't ever do a collar again. The reason is I have a neighbor that really doesn't like the noise and the rooster does still crow with the collar on, it is just about half what a normal crow would be. The temptation to keep tightening that collar as it bothers the neighbors is just too great. If you tighten the collar so that the rooster just makes a rasping sound then it is way too tight in my opinion. I think it might have been a factor in Bow's death?!? So I guess I would advise you to think about your neighborhood. Is it chill or a bit uptight? If you know what I mean. How much room do you have between houses? I think some neighborhoods it would fit in oK. just not mine. Of course I have a front yard garden so I really need my neighbors support. If they start complaining the city would be forced to act. Hope that helps. A cochin! I bet he is beautiful! I can see why you want to keep him! Blessings Dash
Anthony recinos
You have 10 chickens. You have nine hens and one rooster.
Keep an eye on him.
How did Bow die? I am also having a rooster (Buff Orpington), and he is already quite scared of me (maybe too much cuddle) even without the collar. And now he is just running around like seeing a predator. I am just somewhat sad.
Hi, Thanks for sharing this. I have used the same collar to my young Bantam rooster. He had it for 2 days and 2nd day I noticed his face with getting purple as a sign of poor blood circulation. I wasn't tight at all. Any Idea what could have caused that?
Bantams are generally a smaller breed of chicken so the collar may have been too wide. We use a collar that is less than an inch wide on our pekin bantams and always make sure the neck feathers are arranged as best possible - over the top and the ones trapped by the collar.
Will he get super hot during the summer?
It's 2020 now, how has it the collar worked out?
Hi Wendy, sorry for late reply. I had to go help a sick friend on her homestead. The farm goes on sick or not!
Bo ended up dying an early death I am afraid. I think it was coccidiosis that ended up killing him because a few hens passed also at the same time before I treated the flock.
However It was difficult to catch him & make sure the collar was loose enough, so that was a problem. If you had a coop you could walk into & check when he is sleeping that would be best. As he grew the collar got tighter so watch for that if you use one. I have decided not to use one again. This is what I have come up with now to have a rooster on the homestead. It is a bit of trouble but worth it to me. ruclips.net/video/qa9PZyCG3g8/видео.html
Hope that helps, Dash
He’s beautiful lol we are getting our rooster today too
How would you feel IF your neighbors raised a HEAVY METAL Kid with a 20-piece drum set AND PRACTICE EVERY SINGLE DAY??
Lol sounds like he’s out of gas after collar is on.
How did your rooster tolerate the collar? I just put one on our 10weeker this morning He is a lovely bird but I want him to be happy and healthy
It didn’t turn out too well I am afraid. It was hard to catch him & check tightness of the collar as he grew. So watch for that & also keep in mind that it should be called the low crow rooster caller instead of the NO crow collar because he will still crow some. We found that if he couldn’t crow at all then it was too tight.Good luck, Dash
@@BloomWhereYourePlanted .
I'm go I g to try it as well...
What kind is bo hes so pretty
I have a silkie roo that just found his voice and I love him dearly I do not want to send him off to another farm for what they call freezer camp I've been keeping him in my guest bathroom the last couple weeks but he decides it's time to wake everyone up between 330 and 430 in the morning also I live in a suburban area where I am only allowed hens and a rooster that does not call I tried installation of the no crow collar and he still belts it out . Is it to low we hat am I doing wrong I really want him to stay
Hi Benjamin, I know we got attached to our roo too. I bet he is beautiful! You are not doing anything wrong I don't think. That's why I call it the "less" crow rooster caller in the video. To me, if you put it tight enough so they don't crow at all it is too tight/cruel. So even with it on they will make a crow about half what it normally is. We don't have our rooster anymore because of this. If I did it again, which I probably won't, I would put him in dog house/crate in the garage each night then let him out at a more reasonable hour so he could crow all day if he wanted. I think it is those 5:00am wake ups that made people crazy! Good luck, Dash
i agree roosters suck
Did you keep the collar through the night.
Yes, the collar stays on all the time night & day. Our rooster was VERY hard to catch though so unfortunately as he grew the collar got tighter. When we finally caught him to check it, it was way too tight. So watch for that.
What type of rooster is that because I had a rooster Jeff he got slaughtered because of the neighbours
hey! i might have picked out beau so your welcome! ;) btw the is The Bestie :)
Hi Bestie, I bet you did pick out Bo. That's what Besties are for to add great excitement to our lives!
What breed is the rooster
Our rooster was a golden laced wyandotte.
Can you please tell us where you got the collar?
It was called No crow rooster collar: nocrowroostercollars.com/
@@BloomWhereYourePlanted what size did you order for your Wyandotte?
Does it actually work
Yes and no. It decreases the noise of the crow by half, but he still crows EARLY! If you tighten it so that he doesn't crow at all , but makes a raspy sound it is too tight and in my opinion not humane. Hope that helps. It all seems to depend on how sensitive your neighbors are.
Bloom Where You're Planted where was this purchased I have backyard chicks and my roo is too too loud
which country is this?
U.S.A. Texas
can you hear him in the house?
Sorry to say, Yes you can hear his half crow in the house. I think the temptation to keep tightening the collar so that you can't hear him is too great. If you tighten it where you can only
hear a raspy sound it is, in my opinion, too tight. We don't have him anymore. He died. Did the no crow collar have anything to do with that? Not sure, but I know that we will never have
another rooster on our urban homestead again.
Have you guys have had any hawk issues ever since the rooster is gone? We have been trying to find a solution for that, and hear that a rooster would help. Any suggestions? it would greatly help! Thank you
I have 2 roosters and both have collars. They crow louder than ever. :/
Omega Metro so doesn’t work I’d love to have roster but my neighbors might complain
Your rooster has lice eggs all over the back of his neck. If you leave that collar on him the lice will drive him crazy. You need to dip your chickens in a ivermectin dip.
Said no you cant see it with authority lol pissed she said that or something?
How in God's name do you have grass....I have 4 hens and all ...and I mean all...of my grass is gone...yard looks like no man's land.
dont feed him for 2 days then put it on in front of his favourite food, by the time hes chockers u know the rest
bought one of these overpriced no crow collar and he still crows.
What size collar did you used on bo?
We used medium. I have to warn you that Bo was hard to catch! So as he grew the collar got tighter. If you had a coop that you could walk into & get him will he is sleeping to periodically check that would be good. When we finally caught him it was very tight! I felt terrible! so watch for that. Good luck. Dash
Bloom Where You're Planted thank you much!
dont do that its not nice for him cruel.. so no this is not nice let hem be a rooster
I have to agree with you. I don't use one anymore. My fussy neighbor moved so now he can crow!!
shame on you..
You are suffocating the rooster. 😭😭😭😭😭
