    What breed is the quietest roo?

    I have heard of the crow collara actually killing the poor roosters. I don't think I would take a chance. If your concern is noise all livestock can be iirritating. We have meat goats (100+) and there is nothing noiser than weanng time for 150+ kids. They all want their momma's back and they...
