Are banty roos as loud as standards???

[BB3]

My Cochins dont crow half as much as my Belgian Booted Bantam, he actually makes my ears ring hes so loud and the smallest rooster in the bunch. I have 4 cochin roosters some of them are quiet, they do crow in the morning, when I let them out but are quiet during the day.

Seem worth it to get a half dozen roos and pick based on crow loudness.

BB3, I love your answer!!

Thank you for that!

The only roo that has ever flogged me is a banty!

I have a black frizzle bantam that never shuts up, he is very loud...

 

[Akane]

None of my bantams are nearly as loud as my standard. Like 1/4th the volume. It will depend on the roo though. Some standards are quieter than others and some bantams are louder than others.

I have a millie that makes up in decibels what he lacks in size.

But it's not that he's louder, it's perhaps a bit more shrill...

Im hoping to have a bantam cochin roo.

I was thinking of keeping him inside at night and morning then letting him out during the day... hopefully my nosy neighbor wont throw a fit

I can have a rooster, the city code said

So this is a very interesting thread, I too wish for a very quiet roo

my banty cochin and Banty Brahma both crow louder than my standard turken!

From reading all your answers I learn that there is huge variation on frequency and noise level of crowing across and WITHIN breeds!
For now, I will remain rooster free (wishful thinking terminally crushed...)
