The smaller the rooster, the more shrill the pitch of its crow. Yes, the smaller ones are not as loud, but that is not the only factor to consider.

have you considered Bantam EE's? EE's are actually very quiet my LF roo has only crowed like three times in his life and he's almost a year old idk about bantams tho but we will find out b/c im going to pick one up from FrontPorchIndiana!

my modern roosters barely EVER crow, its so strange. I think Moderns would be good for you.

i forgot to add, it gets kind of cold in the winter like now, about -10. wold moderns be ok? could i get a pic of someone holding one, so i kow how big they are? could a pair fit in the Chick-N-coop from critter cages?

Dubbed moderns are cold hardy

Undubbed ones are not

I have tried twice to add modern to my showstring and both times I have found them to not handle the cold real well. They have such small bodies and tight feathers that it is hard to generate enough body heat. We only get down to about 10 degrees.
