Suprelorin implant for rooster chick?

[SavvySilkieMom]

I have 2 silkie chicks and one is a rooster from blood test. I want to avoid agressive behavior and Caponizing is out of the question.
I am in USA and am not sure the laws or where I could find it online.
He is a house rooster ESA pet. He is 6 weeks old today.
Any ideas or websites to help me?

I don't even know what that is, but @casportpony might

Well I just looked that up. That's an interesting choice. Can I ask why you want to go this route?

There are some threads here on it, thought I've not read them.

I would suggest consulting with an avian vet.

Why don't you wait to see if he'll actually be aggressive or not before risking him to surgery, besides, they are non permanent and will need to be replaced often)
The more you handle your birds, the more friendly they'll be.

OP is talking about an implant that's just injected--no anesthesia required.
Caponizing (surgery) is already "out of the question."

I know it's not a "surgery", While stiches are sometimes involved, I the wrong word, pardon me.

I've never heard of it used for roosters, when I looked into it, this is the best I could find.
"Some have reported success implanting roosters and drakes to treat acute reproductive illnesses in them, though the implant’s effectiveness in males seems highly variable on an individual basis"
I could find nothing on making a Rooster non aggressive.
Like I said, the best way is to handle the birds a lot, and if he does get testy, a squirt bottle usually stops that.

Hey all I found an avian vet who does the procedure and says that as long as the procedure is done before puberty, it is usually successful for the crowing and aggression. Only side effects are weight gain if not controlled. I will update later on
