This seems to be an easy and humane way to keep your rooster quiet. I was wrong when I said the price. It's actually almost $20 nocrowroostercollars.com/
I bought a few of these. I have 3 various sized roosters. My large rooster hated it plus it made his neck feathers stick out and looked odd. My polish rooster went into a depression and would stand all day facing the wall. A few days later his bottom beak got caught in it. The instructions say that there should be enough room to put your pinkie finger in the gap. Id rather hear crowing that have depressed birds. Hi from the Scottish Highlands :-)
As an NPIP certified breeder of Sultans, Ayem Cemani, Silkies and Cochins I have to tell you this practice is fairly cruel. It prevents the rooster from doing his job. That crow is more than just a noise. It is a necessary call to warn predators in the area "I will f*ck you up if you mess with my girls" and to let the ladies know he is fertile. They actually lay less fertile eggs if a roo is wearing a crow collar.
Thank you for sharing. Yes, Roosters are important. There is an English gardener who has a Roo and she puts him in a dark box at bed time, then let’s him out at 9am. Her neighbors don’t complain, because he’s quiet until then. I love Roos.
Here coileachs were frequently put in a creel - lobster creel - on a Saturday night. This reduced the space for the cockerel to stretch its neck and so kept it quiet. It would be let out a bit later on Sunday morning. This was so family and neighbours wouldn't be woken so early.
If you have plenty of land I don't see the problem but you should see our neighborhood in Florida. There's like 1-3 roosters freely walking around crowing at all times of the morning. In a RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. I swear to God if I get the chance to catch one in the road I'ma floor it and send that m'fkr to alarm clock hell. I wish I knew who in the area thinks they get to decide when the whole neighborhood has to wake up.
Honestly, I've never understood why the hate on crowing roosters. They blast me with their thumping base music, their dogs bark and howl constantly, and they argue and shout and scream till weird o' clock in the morning...so what's the problem with roosters?
They are incredibly loud! Also they start at 4 a.m., so forget about sleeping with opened window, 3 layers of glass are necessary, unless you work from 6 a.m. I want to kill that bastard every day.
They are LOUD and it is not a melodious way to wake up at 4am when it's still dark outside. It's not like they just crow once and go back to sleep...it continues for hours. I don't make any loud noises to upset my neighbours at any time of the day so I would hope they return the favour.

Hey all, I'm in the burbs and have a roo that is a pain in the ain. 6.17 am he fires up. I fixed the problem good. I bought 12 hay bales and basically built a square hay igloo with a hay bale door that just gets pushed in place in the cavity I made as a door way. So it works like this, 6.17 am he crows 6.18 am I get up , catch him and place him in the igloo. This igloo works like a sound room, deadens the noise he makes, you can still hear him but greatly muffled. Oh yeah one other thing , try not to forget the little bugger in there all day. This is really only for the morning, when we humans are particularly sensitive to early painful wake up calls. Hope this helps.
I used that exact collar. My roo tried to pull it off. He managed to hook one of his toes in it and couldn't get it out! He toppled backwards off his roost. Luckily he didn't get hurt- but if I wasn't watching him he would have spent the night in discomfort and maybe even been traumatized or died. This thing has to be very carefully fitted! It can't be too tight or too loose. I now have 3 roosters. I just keep them inside until 9 am. If anyone complains (to the town) I tell them that my property is legally grandfathered for my "chicken business" and I have a legal agreement with the town that states that my roosters can crow as much as they want after 9 am. I had to go to court to get the variance (cost nothing. I didn't hire a lawyer). The town didn't want to "fight" me and spend municipal dollars on court expenses so the town attorney sternly instructed the zoning dept to come to an agreement with me regarding a variance. The fact is, people get used to hearing roosters and many like it. As I said my roos are not let out into the yard until after 9- everybody has gone to work. And after the late afternoon roosters are pretty quiet unless there is a predator hanging around. I keep them in large dog crates inside. Believe it or not all my roosters come inside on their own. I don't have to chase them or catch them. I've trained them to want to come inside just to get a cup of special rooster food and blueberries. Any roosters that I can't train or that aren't "good" protectors I re-home. My roos sit quietly all night like fat kings on their throne. They can hear the hens and they only crow if there is some commotion. Some roosters have "annoying" crows and other roosters have a bell-like crow. I don't think it has anything to do with breeds or even genetics. It seems to be more the luck of the draw. Now for many years I had an Amazon parrot that was in a cage on my 2nd fl porch in the summer. He screamed all day. No rooster I've ever had was nearly as bad as my parrot! Not only would my parrot scream- if some kids yelled "shut-up stupid!" or "shut the hell up!" he'd screech "SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" I'm really glad roosters can't talk!
I have a red jungle fowl and he crows about 5 to 6 times morning and like 3 times in the afternoon and my neighbor complains. His dog barks everyday non stop which kindof make my dog barks and we dont complain
Right, but you can bet that neighbors will complain loudly about the rooster before they do the dog. They will also report without having the decency to talk to you. It happened to me. I was reported for having poultry on a lot that was, at the time, slightly too small. He claimed that I was housing roosters. I wasn't. The guy next door to him WAS. I had a handful of hens and live several houses down, so he likely never even heard an egg song from my girls. I agree that barking dogs are the bigger issue, but neighbors can get seriously petty over chickens.
Right!!! My neighbor's dogs are literally about ten feet from my bedroom window...maybe not ten, but darn near close.... Every morning, 6 am, the dogs are out before my neighbors go to work, and they're barking. (The dogs...bit the neighbors )....anyway, I have never ever complained or even really been bothered by it, because I told myself from the get go that I wouldn't let it bother me.... But nowwwww we have a roo ... Let's see if the courtesy is handed back to me..even though, we will be getting a collar anyway.
At 3:30 am??? And crowing for at least a couple hours! That's what time our neighbors roosters starts every am! If it were 7am no problem though! Not everyone works the same hours as well. Some ppl get home at 3am after working a night shift. So being woken up every am at 3:30 doesn't work for my neighborhood with the exception of the inconsiderate rooster owner!

Love my boys... when my truck and I pull into the yard, they come running! Forgot to add: they're great foragers and have reduced our tick and grasshopper population a great deal. Lovely roosters!
Ticks this year are everywhere near my house. The chickens love it when we come home from a hike because we put any ticks on us into a bucket and pour it into the coop. They will also eat a tick right off our dog’s back if they see one.
@@dirtbeard108 You call your own pigs shit? Guess you're just as cold as me eh? What's your favorite way of slaughtering them? I personally like to slowly slit their throats, although their squeals annoy me so I often kick them while they bleed out
Chocking a rooster is not an answer. There are other rooster breeds that are more quiet than others, like for example a Cochin will be more quiet than a barred rock. Plus how the rooster is raised will effect is personality. If it is a indoor family pet, the outcome of its personality if more quiet and docile.
Hi there! How has the collar worked out for you long-term? I've got a little guy I can't find a home for yet and I bought a no crow collar to keep the peace (I'm in the city with very close neighbors) until I can find him a good home. Curious to see if you were able to use the collar long-term. 😀
My house is close to the main road of the neighborhood. My surrounding neighbors do not seem to have issues with my chickens, but we do have some nosy neighbors who allegedly work for HOA and will knock on my door if they hear or smell chickens. I wish they gave the same courtesy to chickens as they do to some barking dogs.
There's a prophetic tradition in Islam that when the rooster crows,he sees an angel, they have different eye vision, they can see above ultra violent ray.
Roosters crow for a reason, it's to protect their flock from possible dangers. If your rooster is crowing consistently, maybe turn your focus to what's making him so nervous instead of choking him out of doing his job.
Roosters crow to show off and establish dominance in a flock ( and just to be a-holes) , they growl to alert to danger and they coo to flirt with the girls. The collars do not interfere with any of this, they just make the crowing a little easier to handle at 3am.
I paid over $20 for the exact same collar. I also bought a pack of three pretty cheap on eBay that work just as well if not better. In my pack of three were 3 different widths. Sometimes one works best then again another works best. I hate keeping him in it all the time, so if not too many people are around or there is another noise that’s loud I’ll remove it.
I never have a problem with my neighbors I don't know but having a pool of alligators is a good thing for maintaining peace in the neighborhood and not to mention discipline children
@@xe8309 Why would you say that? That person is obviously kidding. Can't you take a joke? And actually there is the rare alligator that DOES make a good pet, or at least has a strong bond with its human.
At least this guy is courteous to his neighbors. I've asked my neighbors twice and they just don't care if the rooster keeps me up. But I they get sleep at night because the rooster's aren't damn near at their back window
I tired the velcro before because of the cost, but the down side of that is that it cuts up the roosters neck. I noticed that he had scabs on his neck from the velcro. I don't know if the ones you buy are softer on the roosters neck., but if it is than I feel that it's the smarter buy. Also I never knew how tight to make it without actually choking the rooster. Any advise on this subject would be appreciated. I don't want to harm the rooster. I don't have anymore now but I do want to have a rooster in the future so I can produce more chickens. I know the video mentions how small to make it but more opinions are always helpful. Thank you for the video.
I know it's super late, but my sister used to put a cat collar (soft, so it never hurt em.) on our bantam silky rooster (mean little thing), and he wouldn't crow at all, after.
When we were young and caught chickens we would wrap our hands around its throat, dont squeeze it, just wrap around and they wont make a noise so not surprised to see someone came up with this cheap solution.
I know people that I would put that collar on. I have seven roosters and I love the sound of the crowing. Actually, people who would "collar" their roos are the same people that would circumcise their male/female children and shave their bodies in order to pretend they are not animals. Perpetuators of the supernatural don't you know. LMAO
When your rooster is siri Me: hey rooster, can you set the alarm to wake me up at 5 in the morning? Rooster:.................................. 10 hours later..... Rooster: *Alarm*
I don’t know if it’s the time of morning or what, but I have never thought a man holding a rooster would be cute until I saw it for the first time in your video
My neighbors like the rooster crow. It's less noisy than dogs and cats and planes (all nightly hours) and it reminds them of farm life, something most people like.
I’m shocked that someone has actually thought of a way to keep roosters quiet. I grew up in Romania and I can’t imagine a rural house with no roosters. Rooster crows are the definition of rural life. My grandma used to have two roosters every year (if you keep more, they’ll be in a fight all day and hurt one another). Whenever I was going on holiday, yes I could hear them early in the morning, but it wasn’t unbearable, and to complain would have been pointless anyway because that’s nature, all the houses had roosters and the idea of a no crow collar would not have crossed anyone’s mind. Plus, after two or three days, you get so used to them you actually don’t wake up anymore. Or you hear them but you just ignore them and continue to sleep.
People here around cities aren't used to it sometimes, so when they go from hearing nothing, to the birds being pretty loud, it tends to bother them, and gets chalked up as a town disturbance, and therefore you can be fined for having them.
A rooster was crowing during the volcanic eruption in Hawaii. Lava and toxic gases spewing out and a rooster just crowing away. I guess he was warning everyone to get out. Glad he wasn't wearing a rooster collar.
I have a slipshod which moved in on top of me, after my peaceful life in the county for 23 years…brought with him about 7-8 roosters. They crowed non-stop, every single day from 0230 am- 4pm…HOURS and HOURS for right at three years. All the while, peanut head did absolutely nothing about it. Talking about insanity. It was pure rooster hell! I couldn't care less about a rooster now. if I never eat another damn piece of chicken my entire life because roosters are needed for fertilization, that’s fine.
@@nowirehangers2815 right!!!! I can’t even begin to explain the depth those fools disrupted my wife and I’s soul for those three years. Long story- I should have purchased the property. It took five deputies (different calls), a letter to the Lieutenant of the Pitt County Sheriffs office, a Sergeant and email converse with the County Attorney advising him of the laws in the books. They just wanted to be sorry and not get involved. Ive always said, if you don’t want to work, become a sheriff deputy. The County attorney attempted to play me- but we just stayed the course. Lots of prayer and persistency- finally someone did something about it. These past 6-8 years have been pure hell in more ways than one in the earth, with being exposed to those flatulents part of it . I learned three things- Disgusting slipshods are real, God will rattle a fool and roosters can lose their heads.
That's because Amazon sellers sell a lot of stuff that is marked up heavily to make up for that "free shipping" and also because there are a lot of suckers who shop on Amazon that think that everything in Amazon is the lowest price.
In our flock of 20 (including 2 turkeys) we only have one rooster. I don't mind him crowing at all :) the turkeys call when they see me feeding the horses or pulling out of the shop haha, I just don't mind at all.
Thanks for the informative video, bought my son a chicken that was supposed to be a female, but is now starting to look like a rooster. Not getting rid of it if it is a rooster, as he/she and my son are inseparable friends; so looking for ways to keep him without the neighbours having a moan or the council making us get rid of him. Btw, your rooster is beautiful😍✌🏼🙏🏼
Bring him in the house in the evening and keep him large dog kennel with bedding, food and water, and cover the cage with a blanket so he doesn't see any light. In the morning, after 9 am take him outside to his outdoor pen. Some chickens adapt very well when they can come inside, it gives them a break from harsh weather.
Can I use tape? Such as electric tape? My roosters bgin crowing early in the moring from before cople of days. Chidren like chicken and I worry about that super noise for neighbor.
Very interesting. I just got a little Bantham Rooster. It's going at it all day and I have close neighbours. Think I'll try this, otherwise it has to be a sound proofed coup.
I stopped using this device on my rooster...yes it muffles his call,,, i found if he eats something big--- say a piece of dog kibble... he cant swallow it....CHOKING CHICKEN....not cool
mark vanleeuwen Oh really? That's interesting. I've been wanting to try these collars but have been afraid to. Not so much of choking but don't you have to take them off sometimes, like when he's molting so the feathers can grow back, or just so he can groom himself? I'd be afraid of him picking up lice or mites if he can't dust himself and take care of his feathers and skin.
@@NavvyMom You're supposed to take them off at night. If the one I made ends up working out, I'll be taking it off mine an hour before dusk when I bring him inside to sleep, and I'll let him out later in the morning, so he'll have a few hours to groom without it on......he was choking and sad when I tried it a day ago, so it seems horrible, but I can't have a rooster where I live, so this is the only solution.
What is it you would buy?? I am not english native speaker and do not understand. Please, i need help for about fifty fighting chicken roosters in Thailand in front of my house. Thank you
I adopted 3 two week old chicks, two of them are roosters and one is a hen. I also live in a duplex with houses close by me. Thanks for sharing this video to me, I wouldn’t want an angry mob in the morning
I've been reading the reviews on Amazon. The new ones that are just Velcro. Have a ninety percent chance of killing the Rooster if it's tight enough to keep them quiet...
I have watched numerous videos now on how to quiet a rooster. But none of them give demonstration of before and after how the sound difference is without and with the collar.
I live in nyc borough, three highways, and two airports make more noise than ten roosters, so I can't sleep with open windows. That all human made noise okay, but nature's not allowed, right?
I tried crow collars on my roosters. Never again! I lost one of my favourites to choking. He'd been wearing it quite happily for months. I removed his brother's collar because one time after eating he began to choke. My favourite choked overnight.
Does it actually work because it really need to because I want to create my own chicken breed and for that I need a few roosters and I live in the middle of the town
50/50. In my experience, a loose cat collar can have the same effect. But an animal will always come with unpredictable variables, as they don't follow any concrete rules, so expect some stragglers.
Basically you’re choking your chicken. Pun intended. But hey really. Don’t ever do this to a chicken. You can cause it to be “crop bound,” or any other number of ailments.
We sell the hens of ours that are loudest twice a year....easier to sell them and replace them with new ones that are quiet.....We always raise a few extra chicks so that once they start laying, you can assess who is quiet and who is noisy....then sell the noisy ones and keep the quiet ones....

If I was your neighbor I would thank you for the free dinner
@@guero210 you eat shit?
@@dirtbeard108 You call your own pigs shit? Guess you're just as cold as me eh? What's your favorite way of slaughtering them? I personally like to slowly slit their throats, although their squeals annoy me so I often kick them while they bleed out
A rooster making noise means he's happy, and if he crows he probably heard another bird
I love when my neighbor's Roo crows. Pretty soon he's going to have 2 in my yard to converse with, but mine are only a week old.
Chocking a rooster is not an answer. There are other rooster breeds that are more quiet than others, like for example a Cochin will be more quiet than a barred rock. Plus how the rooster is raised will effect is personality. If it is a indoor family pet, the outcome of its personality if more quiet and docile.
I have a mixed breed outside rooster who just started crowing and he’s very loud and close to the neighbors what do I do?
dream on
Hell get eaten one day anyway
Hi there! How has the collar worked out for you long-term? I've got a little guy I can't find a home for yet and I bought a no crow collar to keep the peace (I'm in the city with very close neighbors) until I can find him a good home. Curious to see if you were able to use the collar long-term. 😀
Running after a rooster keep you fit 😂😂
Rooster and Hens don't hurt us any more, Your Rooster Look Like very peaceful and so beautiful, Masha Allah. May GOD Bless him & Live Long
I miss our rooster, We didn’t see this video before, a week after my birthday our dad returned him
Thank you. But, can the rooster still do his hawk calls and other warnings he gives the hens? Just wondering. I love hearing his chats.
So refreshing to see someone considerate of their neighbors! Your a great man!
I just give extra eggs to my surrounding neighbors, they're happy and my Rooster gets to sound off unhindered.
My house is close to the main road of the neighborhood. My surrounding neighbors do not seem to have issues with my chickens, but we do have some nosy neighbors who allegedly work for HOA and will knock on my door if they hear or smell chickens. I wish they gave the same courtesy to chickens as they do to some barking dogs.
There's a prophetic tradition in Islam that when the rooster crows,he sees an angel, they have different eye vision, they can see above ultra violent ray.

That's beautiful!
Roosters crow for a reason, it's to protect their flock from possible dangers. If your rooster is crowing consistently, maybe turn your focus to what's making him so nervous instead of choking him out of doing his job.
Roosters crow to show off and establish dominance in a flock ( and just to be a-holes) , they growl to alert to danger and they coo to flirt with the girls. The collars do not interfere with any of this, they just make the crowing a little easier to handle at 3am.
Roosters do not crow because they're nervous ......... how stupid
Need to get one of these for the wife.
I paid over $20 for the exact same collar. I also bought a pack of three pretty cheap on eBay that work just as well if not better. In my pack of three were 3 different widths. Sometimes one works best then again another works best. I hate keeping him in it all the time, so if not too many people are around or there is another noise that’s loud I’ll remove it.
I never have a problem with my neighbors
I don't know but having a pool of alligators is a good thing for maintaining peace in the neighborhood and not to mention discipline children
Disciplining children?! Alligators as pets! Frigin weirdo! Hope your alligators eat you someday!
@@xe8309 Why would you say that? That person is obviously kidding. Can't you take a joke? And actually there is the rare alligator that DOES make a good pet, or at least has a strong bond with its human.
At least this guy is courteous to his neighbors. I've asked my neighbors twice and they just don't care if the rooster keeps me up. But I they get sleep at night because the rooster's aren't damn near at their back window
I tired the velcro before because of the cost, but the down side of that is that it cuts up the roosters neck. I noticed that he had scabs on his neck from the velcro. I don't know if the ones you buy are softer on the roosters neck., but if it is than I feel that it's the smarter buy. Also I never knew how tight to make it without actually choking the rooster. Any advise on this subject would be appreciated. I don't want to harm the rooster. I don't have anymore now but I do want to have a rooster in the future so I can produce more chickens. I know the video mentions how small to make it but more opinions are always helpful. Thank you for the video.
I know it's super late, but my sister used to put a cat collar (soft, so it never hurt em.) on our bantam silky rooster (mean little thing), and he wouldn't crow at all, after.
When we were young and caught chickens we would wrap our hands around its throat, dont squeeze it, just wrap around and they wont make a noise so not surprised to see someone came up with this cheap solution.
How does the Crow collar affect the rooster eating, as well aggression?
And do you still do this?
I know people that I would put that collar on. I have seven roosters and I love the sound of the crowing. Actually, people who would "collar" their roos are the same people that would circumcise their male/female children and shave their bodies in order to pretend they are not animals. Perpetuators of the supernatural don't you know. LMAO
Hi. Do you have a video where it actually crows with collar?
When your rooster is siri
Me: hey rooster, can you set the alarm to wake me up at 5 in the morning?
Rooster:..................................
10 hours later.....
Rooster: *Alarm*
I don’t know if it’s the time of morning or what, but I have never thought a man holding a rooster would be cute until I saw it for the first time in your video
My neighbors like the rooster crow. It's less noisy than dogs and cats and planes (all nightly hours) and it reminds them of farm life, something most people like.
Literally watching this at 5:30in the morning, thats crazy
I’m shocked that someone has actually thought of a way to keep roosters quiet. I grew up in Romania and I can’t imagine a rural house with no roosters. Rooster crows are the definition of rural life. My grandma used to have two roosters every year (if you keep more, they’ll be in a fight all day and hurt one another). Whenever I was going on holiday, yes I could hear them early in the morning, but it wasn’t unbearable, and to complain would have been pointless anyway because that’s nature, all the houses had roosters and the idea of a no crow collar would not have crossed anyone’s mind. Plus, after two or three days, you get so used to them you actually don’t wake up anymore. Or you hear them but you just ignore them and continue to sleep.
People here around cities aren't used to it sometimes, so when they go from hearing nothing, to the birds being pretty loud, it tends to bother them, and gets chalked up as a town disturbance, and therefore you can be fined for having them.
I used to think roosters just crowed in the morning, but no, they crow all day long, they’ll crow in the middle of the night too...
A rooster was crowing during the volcanic eruption in Hawaii. Lava and toxic gases spewing out and a rooster just crowing away. I guess he was warning everyone to get out. Glad he wasn't wearing a rooster collar.
I have a slipshod which moved in on top of me, after my peaceful life in the county for 23 years…brought with him about 7-8 roosters. They crowed non-stop, every single day from 0230 am- 4pm…HOURS and HOURS for right at three years. All the while, peanut head did absolutely nothing about it. Talking about insanity. It was pure rooster hell! I couldn't care less about a rooster now. if I never eat another damn piece of chicken my entire life because roosters are needed for fertilization, that’s fine.
Jesus man first world problems
@@nowirehangers2815 it was bad dude. When I say rooster hell-- 13.5 hours of solid crowing every single day.
@@chrisharrell5945 yeh that’s bad.
That’s too much.
I’d make a lot of soup and my dog would eat like a king
@@nowirehangers2815 right!!!! I can’t even begin to explain the depth those fools disrupted my wife and I’s soul for those three years. Long story- I should have purchased the property.
It took five deputies (different calls), a letter to the Lieutenant of the Pitt County Sheriffs office, a Sergeant and email converse with the County Attorney advising him of the laws in the books. They just wanted to be sorry and not get involved. Ive always said, if you don’t want to work, become a sheriff deputy. The County attorney attempted to play me- but we just stayed the course. Lots of prayer and persistency- finally someone did something about it. These past 6-8 years have been pure hell in more ways than one in the earth, with being exposed to those flatulents part of it . I learned three things- Disgusting slipshods are real, God will rattle a fool and roosters can lose their heads.
Where did you find them for 2 or 3$ I've only found them on Amazon for 20$ and up
That's because Amazon sellers sell a lot of stuff that is marked up heavily to make up for that "free shipping" and also because there are a lot of suckers who shop on Amazon that think that everything in Amazon is the lowest price.
In our flock of 20 (including 2 turkeys) we only have one rooster. I don't mind him crowing at all :) the turkeys call when they see me feeding the horses or pulling out of the shop haha, I just don't mind at all.
Thanks for the informative video, bought my son a chicken that was supposed to be a female, but is now starting to look like a rooster. Not getting rid of it if it is a rooster, as he/she and my son are inseparable friends; so looking for ways to keep him without the neighbours having a moan or the council making us get rid of him. Btw, your rooster is beautiful😍✌🏼🙏🏼
Thank you.
Bring him in the house in the evening and keep him large dog kennel with bedding, food and water, and cover the cage with a blanket so he doesn't see any light. In the morning, after 9 am take him outside to his outdoor pen. Some chickens adapt very well when they can come inside, it gives them a break from harsh weather.
Thanks for the wonderful tip, I needed this. GOD bless You
Can I use tape? Such as electric tape? My roosters bgin crowing early in the moring from before cople of days. Chidren like chicken and I worry about that super noise for neighbor.
Got a solution for your aircraft noise?
What size did u use?
I know how to shut a rooster up. Somebody bring me a pot of hot water
Or in short, a Chicken Chocker? Btw wtf am I doin here!
Aww your rooster is really cute bless him
I actually don’t mind them, I enjoy them at 6 in the morning when I’m waking up
He's choking his chicken
Very interesting. I just got a little Bantham Rooster. It's going at it all day and I have close neighbours. Think I'll try this, otherwise it has to be a sound proofed coup.
I love my rooster. He's a cuddler except when he's mad lol.
You could by a koeyoshi rooster or a similar breed. They have a rather deep call and are not as loud as a regular one.
I think we all found mr.clean
Wait ,aren't wives noisier than roosters ?
Catrasho:that!,plus they are costly,needy,bitch,and I think I’ll go now!
🏃
🤣 Yes, we are! 🤣
@@kungpaopizza2126 You should go-into that dark room in the basement. The room with big spiders.
I stopped using this device on my rooster...yes it muffles his call,,, i found if he eats something big--- say a piece of dog kibble... he cant swallow it....CHOKING CHICKEN....not cool
mark vanleeuwen why would you feed dog kibble to your birds. Better ways of getting protein to them
mark vanleeuwen Oh really? That's interesting. I've been wanting to try these collars but have been afraid to. Not so much of choking but don't you have to take them off sometimes, like when he's molting so the feathers can grow back, or just so he can groom himself? I'd be afraid of him picking up lice or mites if he can't dust himself and take care of his feathers and skin.
good to know
@@squirrelhillfarm9070 some people allow their animals to graze 🙄
@@NavvyMom You're supposed to take them off at night. If the one I made ends up working out, I'll be taking it off mine an hour before dusk when I bring him inside to sleep, and I'll let him out later in the morning, so he'll have a few hours to groom without it on......he was choking and sad when I tried it a day ago, so it seems horrible, but I can't have a rooster where I live, so this is the only solution.
Hi my roosters are 10 weeks old starting to crowing
Can I try this can u possibly post crowing with and with out the collar
I'm interested to know if this will work on a hen that crows. (yes, its a hen, she lays eggs, and is about 8 years old)
I wouldn't see why not. I think it constricts the "vocal cords" so I would bet it's not male specific. What have you got to loose?
Hi where exactly u wear the collar
Fortunately me and several of my neighbors have roosters that sing in unison
That's one handsome red fellow.
Obviously a bird who likes your company anyway - very civilised.
he looks like a mix of paul walker and mr clean
Who? The rooster? LOL
BYEEE
Thats mean:(*
The government fears the backyard farmer
What is it you would buy?? I am not english native speaker and do not understand. Please, i need help for about fifty fighting chicken roosters in Thailand in front of my house. Thank you
Velcro
Google Velcro strips
Dad said if you cut his tail off right behind his ears he'll quit all that crowin. Let me know if this helps.
What a cute rooster!!
Does it hurt him?
I adopted 3 two week old chicks, two of them are roosters and one is a hen. I also live in a duplex with houses close by me. Thanks for sharing this video to me, I wouldn’t want an angry mob in the morning
A wide piece of velcro might be abracive at the top and bottom That collar has an up and down comprwssion ability. Lokely to prevent chaffing.
I've been reading the reviews on Amazon. The new ones that are just Velcro. Have a ninety percent chance of killing the Rooster if it's tight enough to keep them quiet...
Right on dude! I admire your empathy for your neighbors! Good man!
I have watched numerous videos now on how to quiet a rooster. But none of them give demonstration of before and after how the sound difference is without and with the collar.
Thanks for the velcro collar info. I have a very loud rooster and would love to quiet him. Sharon in Virginia
I live in nyc borough, three highways, and two airports make more noise than ten roosters, so I can't sleep with open windows.
That all human made noise okay, but nature's not allowed, right?
Well I wish you were my neighbor. None of mine have Roos so neither do I and I love the sound.
I tried crow collars on my roosters. Never again! I lost one of my favourites to choking. He'd been wearing it quite happily for months. I removed his brother's collar because one time after eating he began to choke. My favourite choked overnight.
LOL!
It does work, you probably put it on too tight...
No. As I said, he'd worn it for months, it wasn't too tight.
@@peterstanbridge2019 Good to know, I think you've talked me out of them. Would hate to do that to Hero.
was it fully grown when you first put it on?
Anyone who lived in the suburbs that would be inconsiderate enough to bring chickens in the neighborhood, deserves them meeting Mr. Pennzoil!
Does it actually work because it really need to because I want to create my own chicken breed and for that I need a few roosters and I live in the middle of the town
50/50. In my experience, a loose cat collar can have the same effect. But an animal will always come with unpredictable variables, as they don't follow any concrete rules, so expect some stragglers.
Btw, you're brave to post this...obviously everyone has a "professional" opinion... I think it's a great idea.
This is why I moved to a place with no neighbors so the roosters could crow, the peacocks could scream and the dogs could bark, life is good here
and the wife can yell.
I had a rooster who always crows every time I play a rooster song. He goes inside a corridor and runs to my backyard front and crows.
Basically you’re choking your chicken. Pun intended.
But hey really. Don’t ever do this to a chicken. You can cause it to be “crop bound,” or any other number of ailments.
Oh, that's terrible. I just use ear plugs so I can't hear my rooster crowing. And too, so I can't hear my husband snoring! :-)
@@marialeach8960 Husbands are worse. They don't wait for morning.
@@vgil1278 LOL!!!
I need some tips on petting a rooster
In west texas every other neighbor has chickens and roosters. waking up at 5 am for work it sounds like a orchestra outside.
no video with the quite rooster ???
Roosters tell hens when there is danger. Does this still allow that?
The suns coming up without him!
Does this work for loud hens because my hen screams her head of all the time for attention
We sell the hens of ours that are loudest twice a year....easier to sell them and replace them with new ones that are quiet.....We always raise a few extra chicks so that once they start laying, you can assess who is quiet and who is noisy....then sell the noisy ones and keep the quiet ones....
