Guest Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Now I know this sounds stupid and as far as I am aware there is no such thing! And I personally love the sound of crowing in the country and have a cockerel myself but wouldn't it be great for the urban dwellers if there was a breed of chicken that was bred specifically to lose it's crow? In this day and age with all the advanced technology, historic records and breeding programs that have gone on you would have thought someone would have created a crowless cockerel...

xChicken04x Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Good point. I to like the noise pf a cockerel, but I dont think the neighbors would appreciate it. If there was such thing I would be the first one to buy it! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutechicky Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Well you are kinda half right there! You can get a cockerals voicebox taken out so that it can't crow. This way you can enjoy the beaty of a cockeral in your back garden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way you can enjoy the beaty of a cockeral in your back garden! Its a bit like docking a dogs tail.....of no benefit whatsoever to the creature....just its owner. I would not want the services of a vet who would be prepared to so such an operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bantam of the Opera Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have a little white bantam that i was told was a girl but i think he must be a boy because of his feathers and i think he has spurs that have been cut off, im not sure but my big sister who read up on it swears its a boy and ive never heard him crow. maybe hes young or just not a cockerel ? i wish there was an easier way to tell this is him, i call him lucius. Any suggestions, if it is a boy ive got a non-crowing cockerel. He even stood up to mrs. weasly, my bossy rhode island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bantam of the Opera Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 they are very sweet arent they, its quite weird to see his feathers growing from between his toe scales though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bantam of the Opera Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 s"Ooops, word censored!" that, he definately is a boy as he started trying to crow, i guess you will have to continue to search for a cockerel that doesnt crow.
