I always like having 1 rooster in a flock of hens. They keep everyone in line and protect them from predators. I don’t even mind the crowing.

Chickens are so funny🥰

Very nice snd congrats on the eggs...👍

I know brother looking back at the old videos … they grew fast!

You want to keep fresh straw or wood chips in your box to catch the deprecation or waste that comes from the chicken the straw or wood chips where does makes it easier for the cleanup

Hi, I love your orpington flock videos and I am wondering if you would like to share how you made your own no crow collar. Cheers

It’s just simple Velcro

That no crow collar killed our rooster after wearing it for over a month. It still felt loose after he died so not sure why but the can die wearing that collar so beware!!!

great video....btw what kind of velcro did you use?

@prolificbreedaquatics

Just regular 4 inch velcro and I cut to size. The velcro works but it loosens up over time for me

Have you noticed with broodiness with your orpingtons? Love your channel.

@@prolificbreedaquatics Ok My dad grew up on a farm and he always mentioned that.But...he always said they were the friendliest and tamest chicken around. Very calm. 75% of my grandmother's flock were Buff Orpingtons.

Remember to give your neighbors eggs from time to time, that will give them something for dealing with the sounds.

it's just velcro. you have to adjust until it's just right but also dangerous since it can choke him too ...

Poor rooster it’s bad what you did to him 😢he suffering like that pretty bad.

Do you still have girls? Are they loud at night at all? Mine are 13 weeks and so far they are pretty quite.

Just simple Velcro. You have to keep adjusting for size since he kept growing. Another option is to use the kids toys wrist slappers. U bend it so it’s a little loose and it stays on for a while. Right now I just have Velcro
