Hi Molly,
Sorry. No, I didn't see your PM. I just sent you one. Can you see it?

So we "cranked down" a little. The boy was quieter for a few days. Now, I think he got hold of the technique again and started to crow as before. And he gargles a little at the end of each crow, which sounds really funny... We'll probably just leave him at this tightness as we arrange to rehome him to mollybuck.Whoa! Ok, that's not working at all! I know it sounds a bit abusive, but it's got to be tight! I have relatively small hands and I would say that I can just get a finger between our roo's neck and his collar. In fact, I was afraid it was too tight when we initially put it on our him, but that was months ago, and I promise you that he is just fine. The collar I have is about 2 inches wide, so I think you're on the right track. Just tighten up the one you have on him in the video. Then watch him and adjust accordingly. If he can still crow, not tight enough. If he can't eat, too tight.
My understanding is that some roosters still crow with it on, just far more quietly. My rooster doesn't make a sound anymore. I think he's embarrassed! Our hen's egg songs are far louder than he is!
I went on YouTube and watched video of rooster collar being placed. You are right. They do not look abusive. I apologize
