FAQs

  • WHAT DOES IT DO? HOW DOES IT WORK?

 NO CROW Rooster Collars work by diminishing the force behind roosters' crows. Reserves of air from air sacs (in addition to their lungs) are expelled all at once when they crow. When the NO CROW Rooster Collar is worn snugly around the neck (like a belt is worn around the waist) it tends to limit the force of the air and makes the crow quieter.

WHAT  SIZE SHOULD I ORDER? HOW DO I MEASURE?

To ensure a good fit, measure your rooster's neck (under the feathers, close to the skin, lower on the neck) before ordering. You can use a cloth tape measure or even a string to get his correct neck size.
Measure low on the neck under the feathers as much as possible.
After you measure, add on 1-1/2" (3.81cm), then order the closest size up. So if he measures 4" (10.15cm) for example, add 1-1/2" (3.81cm) to make 5-1/2" (14 cm), and the next size up is the 6" (15.25cm) small.
IF YOU ARE UNSURE ORDER THE NEXT LARGER SIZE.

Eventually, the collar must be quite snug to reduce the crow (only the tip of your littlest finger should fit under the edges). As you are slowly tightening it, make sure it is under most feathers, and that the feathers that do end up under the collar are as smooth as you can get them. It should be located lower on the neck, and as you tighten make sure you monitor him while you are still holding him. Download Important Instructions Here.

  • HOW DO I KNOW IF IT IS TIGHT ENOUGH? Once your rooster has had ample time to adjust to his NO CROW Rooster Collar worn loosely on his neck you may begin the fitting process. The easiest way to find the best fit is to slowly tighten the collar while holding him on your lap, making sure not to overly tighten the collar. Once you have the collar secured, check the fit by gently tucking the tip of your little finger under both the top and bottom edges. It should be evenly snug all the way around. If there are feathers pinched under the top edge of the collar that should be hanging over the collar, make sure to adjust them now. Otherwise, they will work themselves out and make the fit too loose. As a precaution before you set your rooster down, take some time to assess his posture and his breathing. Most roosters breath with their beaks open when they are nervous, but continue to hold and monitor him. Be patient and give him some time to get comfortable, and use treats to make this a more pleasant experience for both of you. When you feel comfortable setting him down, watch him in his environment for a while at first, and monitor him sporadically throughout the first day. Download Important Instructions and Tips here.

      • HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE TO ORDER? It is highly recommended that a measurement of your rooster's neck be used to determine the appropriate size of your NO CROW Rooster Collar. Every rooster is different. Measure around the lower portion of the neck, under the feathers and close to the skin. You will need to add at least 1.5 inches (3.8cm) of overlap for the velcro to adhere correctly. For example, if your Silkie's neck is 6.5 inches (16.51cm) around adding the 1-1/2"(3.8cm) will give you 8"(20.32cm). You should order a MEDIUM (8"- 20.32cm) NO CROW Rooster Collar. When in doubt order one size larger.
