- I'm sharing a review of rooster no-crow collars in my experience -- the positives, possible challenges and considerations -- in order to hopefully be of help to those that may be looking into getting one.
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.
Skip to time stamp 9:20 for what you actual clicked this for!!
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
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 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
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.
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'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

Thank you for a great assessment, You helped me decide against getting this for my roosters.
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 :-(
Thank you for this! I'm preemptively looking for a solution to be able to keep inadvertent roosters from becoming dinner.
Thanks for the info... and I love his name! Brilliant!
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
Great review, thank you!
Loving the name of your rooster. Our big one is called Roo Paul.
Haha, that's brilliant!
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 😤😂
Hi Bud
Thx for your video. How far up or rather jow high should I put the rooster collar?
Thx Andre
What would you suggest for a silkie? I got an oopsie named Robert Smith.
Thank you great instruction
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 ☺️
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.
Do you have a link for this collar
Wonder if it will work on a crowing hen?
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.
Thank you for the info!!!
Its crazy here in the usa we can have barking dogs nonstop.. i dont get it
What a BEAUTIFUL rooster 🐔😍
That sounds dirty
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.
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~
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!!!
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.
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
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.
What size & width is the collar you are using for your Roo? Ty for making this great info vid.
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. 😂
I live in urban place and its never a problem the lauoder they croak the better
What is the cause a roster start crowing gap of two three days
Good video could you tell me how long can you leave the collar on?
As long as it's going well, I would imagine indefinitely.
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.
Great video. Can you share the website where you purchased the collar. Thank you
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
Philippines needs these
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😂
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
What is that brand of callor called been looking for one for a long time
"NO CROW"
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
My Rooster is starting to crow around 4:30, his big and loud, it's really distracting and starting to affect our sleep.
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....
The common variable I keep seeing is people DO NOT FIT THE ROOSTER COLLAR TIGHT ENOUGH then claim they do not work.
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
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.
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?!?!?
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😅
They work great, you have to adjust it properly
They sound pretty choked up In the after video...
Thank you for the information.
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
Great video! Give my regards to Russell Crow! Thank you!
I have some questions maybe someone could help me. We had a "complaint" before I'm wondering if this would allow a rooster to be quiet enough. I'm also wondering if this was put on a young rooster before he really starts learning to crow if maybe it would make him crow less in the long run? If anyone has bought these do u have a brand or make suggestion to guide me in the best option. Thank you
Sometimes you can find a vet to castrate the male.
They also have a vocal cord surgery but I'd hate to do that.
@@squizzyicetea yah I'd hate to do both of those too. I've heard people even do the vocal surgery on dogs...
very helpful video, thank you for making it. this roo will not go to a orphanage
Anyone here tried one on a Serama too? I bought the Serama sized collar so I’m wondering how others have liked it.
Any luck? I have a sweet little guy that is kinda getting too loud now
I just got a silkie rooster today and already a person called the city on him. I hate to get rid of him. 😢
where did you purchase this collar?
I believe from My Pet Chicken or NO CROW Rooster Collars . com.
what brand collar is this? thanks
NO CROW Rooster Collar
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.
Does this work for Seramas?
I hate that we live in a hateful world of people who complain about a sound as natural as a rooster crowing. My rooster is amazing (so sweet, not mean) & I just got a letter from my town.
Hi and hello although you pretty much summed it up in this video does the collar truly prevent the chicken from crowing my daughter raised up some chickens that she got from her Grandpa and we just found out two of them are roosters one doesn't Crow so much than the other but I have now got a complaint from the neighbors through the city and they have said we cannot have the roosters we can keep the hens through a permit so most likely we will be giving back the roosters to her Grandpa but if there is an alternative to the situation and I could somehow prevent The roosters from crowing I would like to bring them back my daughter has grown very attached to them as well as I although I want to respect my neighbors most of them I've talked to have said that they are okay with it it seems that a neighbor about a block away has been putting complaints on some City app and they she is trying to locate where the roosters are there for I believe the city drove by and saw my roosters and issued me to get rid of them but if this collar should work I might bring them back thank you for this video hope to be getting some advice from you have a great day talk to you soon
It is sad we put up with barking dogs but a crowing rooster is disturbing. BUT I bought it and I am using it.
Very nicely explained nice ending rather speak for your rooster
is it permanent or we need to take off at night
Permanent.
Plz tell me we're to buy one.
I believe they have a website if you Google it, and that My Pet Chicken carries them as well.
For some of the other, more boutique ones, you can also try Etsy.
Where going to buy one as well but we don't know we're. Thanks for the advice.
Have you had any ingrown feathers
Nope. Not that I have seen.

Updated comment: we no longer have a collar on my boy
I've been trying different methods of rooster collars on my boy for maybe just under a year now and nothing has safely or effectively worked for us. We tried a no crow branded collar, and it made his throat swell. We tried diying one and it seemed unethical as it was quite tough, so we tried making some out of pet bandages as its stretchy self adhesive, and that also made his throat swell up. Im running out of options and I don't want to get rid of him but I can't keep risking his life. How do people get the collars to work without food blockages or the roos throat swelling? Even when I have the collars on loose they still aren't safe for him. Is it something to do with the length of it on their necks? I really need help
I understand your concern. I don’t want to hurt my little young rooster either. Have you found solutions yet?
@@Jndlove the solution was taking it off permanently. And honestly, it worked out really well! He only crows once a day now when he's in his box (we let them out at around 8am so everyone's awake by then) and he only crows now once a day. Luckily my neighbours love our roo as much as we do, but the collar nearly killed my boy so I refuse to out one on him now. Maybe just try not having a collar or soundproofing their box? We cover ours with blankets to muffle the noise.
@@Jndlove I was considering sending my roo somewhere else, maybe try asking places if they would want to take in your roo just in case a neighbour complains, that way he won't be taken away by the local council (and they usually cull them) and you can at least guarantee in that scenario he will be going somewhere safe. It'll give you peace if mind. I noticed with my roo he just got less noisy as he grew up :)
@@NaughtsThoughts mine is so lovely, only four months old, but crow as loud as you can imagine. I live fairly close to the road, I don’t want the wrong person to hear it.
@@NaughtsThoughts I probably can rehome him, but I really want to keep him
what age can you apply the no crow collar to male roosters
As soon as they are crowing. Just pay attention and adjust the tightness if they keep growing.
thank you
Om Ah Houm
Great stuff!
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😂
9:19 for the before and after.
hi cant I used for hens too
Hens don't crow, they don't have the air sac that roosters use to crow. The collar restricts the sac from inflating and deflating to make that loud sound. You can't keep a gallo completely quiet!
Oh yes they do! I have full grown novogen Brown layers and one of them crows, albeit not as loudly.
@@Jauhara My Isa Brown hen crowed for week, then stopped! Horrible

@@TheIntegratedGarden thank you
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
😂😂 funny sound at the end
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.
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.
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.
Why would you use a no crow collar if they don't work?
I heard if where they sleep at night has a low roof they can’t crow. They need to stretch their necks to crow. I don’t know because I don’t have chickens yet.
💙
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..
Would be good to show how high on the neck you put it.
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.
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.
it does not work if you can put the little finger through
Oh but a dog can constantly bark ?
How do these collars affect their eating, and or aggression.
No real difference on aggression. Not too bad with food either if it's not on too tight.
But do monitor the situation. An overly tight collar plus extra large food pieces can be a tricky combination. You will likely notice very easily if there is a problem.
@@TheIntegratedGarden , thank you.
I just put a colar on my roo he really didn't like it much
Thank you very informative. I've been keeping chickens for 15 years and always avoided roosters. I live in a rural suburban area. But now I Black Jack he's a silkie and loves to crow. I've not had any complaints from neighbors about him. If i did i would ask them to reimburse me for the privacy fence i had to put up to enjoy 1 minute of peace in my yard because of their awful dogs constantly barking and clawing at the fence! Good fence lines make good neighbors. I was considering a collar but i was unsure. I've decided against it for my Jack. And when the neighbors start paying my property taxes they can give their opinion. Its funny how people ask what you do with fertilized eggs😂😂
Well you can eat them, they taste better than the grocery store eggs. Or let a broody hen have them. She will make you more chickens out of them.
I have to give the collar a no. But that is just my opinion.
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
