Help reduce the volume of your bantam rooster’s crowing with this set of two a roosters**, these low-profile rooster crow collars provide two different options for finding a comfortable fit. When correctly fitted and carefully monitored, they are designed to reduce crowing volume while allowing your bird to continue eating, drinking, dust bathing and carrying out his usual daily activities.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Correct fitting and close supervision are essential for your rooster’s safety and comfort.

The collar should be:

• Snug enough to remain securely positioned
• Loose enough for your fingertip to slide underneath
• Positioned below the longer hackle feather growth
• Checked regularly and adjusted as your bird grows

Never overtighten the collar. An incorrectly fitted collar may interfere with breathing, circulation or normal movement.

Monitor your rooster carefully during the adjustment period. Remove or loosen the collar immediately if you notice:

• Gasping or difficulty breathing
• Unusual lethargy
• Loss of balance
• Prolonged distress
• Difficulty eating or drinking
• Any other concerning change in behaviour

Never leave your rooster unattended immediately after fitting the collar.

HOW TO FIT THE COLLAR

1. Sit comfortably with your rooster resting securely on your lap.

2. Gently groom the longer hackle feathers upwards and away from the neck.

3. Position the collar around the mid-to-upper section of the neck, below the longer hackle feather growth.

4. Fasten the collar so that it is secure but not overly tight.

5. Check that you can comfortably slide your fingertip underneath the collar.

6. Fluff the feathers back over the collar.

7. Observe your rooster closely while he walks, eats and drinks.

Make small adjustments when necessary rather than tightening the collar too quickly.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Some roosters may initially feel unsettled when wearing a neck band for the first time. Temporary reactions may include backing up, hiding, attempting to remove the collar or moving unusually.

Growing cockerels often adapt more quickly than older birds. Introduce the collar patiently and continue monitoring your rooster until he appears comfortable and is eating, drinking and moving normally.

If your bird remains distressed or shows any difficulty breathing, remove the collar immediately.

CHECKING THE FIT

Check the collar every **6–11 days**, particularly while your cockerel is still growing.

Regular fit checks are important because changes in neck size, feather growth and body condition may affect how the collar sits.

Always make sure that:

• The collar has not become too tight
• Your fingertip can still fit underneath
• Your rooster is eating and drinking normally
• There are no signs of rubbing or irritation
• The fastening remains secure

RESPONSIBLE USE

These cockerel collars must always be used responsibly and under careful supervision.

Every rooster is different, and adjustment times may vary. The owner is responsible for selecting the appropriate fit, monitoring the bird and removing or adjusting the collar whenever necessary.

We cannot accept responsibility for injury or harm caused by incorrect fitting, overtightening, lack of supervision or improper use.

For additional fitting guidance, please review all listing photographs and consult helpful rooster collar fitting tutorials available on YouTube.
