    What breed is the quietest roo?

    I had a silkie roo that died protecting his flock from a rando urban fox last year. He was the best boy. He would watch the skies, cry out an alarm to protect his girls and stand at the entrance of the coop in front of the girls until I came out to see what the hub bub was. He was pretty quiet...

    No idea. Anyone else?

    Thanks for all the feedback. He’s about 3/4 months old. I haven’t heard him crow and he hatched the same time as the other Cochin roo I had that was crowing. Alas, I know he’s a roo. I’ll only be in denial a little longer. I live in an area where I’m not supposed to have roosters, so I keep...

    Norman, OK - Cochin Cockerel and Ameraucana/Silkie Mix Rooster

    Thanks for the link and quick response! Howl didn't start fighting my main roo (his dad, the Silkie) until recently and he almost killed him. Howl is twice his size. They used to sleep in the same pen together just fine, but I've started putting Daddy in with the other Silkies in the smaller pen...

    I have two boys that need a new home quick. First, the Cochin boy just started crowing. He needs a home soonish, but he's still pretty quiet and docile, so I'm not in a rush with him. _____________________________________________________________________ The big boy, Howl, takes after his...

  13. Clearance is pretty sure she hates being outside and wants to live in the house again. About 3/3.5 months old here.

  15. Fabio with his neck tie. He wears a crow collar to dampen his crows since I live in city limits. The neighbors don't mind him.
