Bantams

What breed of bantams are the quietest?

not totally positive, but my cochin bantams where always super quiet. even they boys were quieter than the rest of the boys, but one still had a loud crow, and the other was about as loud as a hen. super friendly birds too! so cuddly!

Do you know anything about how loud silkies are?

 

[Ozarkhomesteader]

the males are as loud as any other roo i have, and females seem pretty normal for sound too. not very loud in my experience. Why do you need quiet birds?

 

[Chandler1245]

I have neighbors and don't want to irritate them too much.

A normal chicken is usually pretty quiet. I never hear the hens except when they lay an egg. A chicken will get quite loud while they sing the egg song to announce their accomplishment. It usually only lasts a few minutes at most, more normally like 30 seconds. I have had 2 hens who where oddly loud, but just rehome it if you happen to end up with a really loud one. And of don't get a rooster. also don't get ducks...the females are really loud
