De-crowing Options

[Soonermagic254]

You might want to look at how your crow collar is fitted. I have been working with my young rooster for about a month before I finally figured out the fit and placement. Some of the videos say to put it high, some low, some that it does not matter. I suspect that it depends on the bird. One thing for sure, i had it far too loose. Partly that was because I was not arranging the feathers so they would be smooth under the collar. Once I found the perfect spot (for my roo about 3/4 down the neck) and smoothed the feathers and then put on the collar so I could barely stick my pinky just inside the collar, it worked perfectly. He's happy and hopping around, eating and doing all those roo things. He crows but it's very soft. I cannot hear it at all from inside the house.

Do You have a link to the working collar? I’m researching them online
