Cockerel

[Quailmummy85]

Looking for a not so noisy cockerel to get my ladies a man and stop the bullying.
Only downside I need a breed that’s not going to wake up the while neighbourhood.
Is there a silent or quite breed ?

Realistically ? No, but some roosters are quieter than others. It's just the luck of the draw. If you have close neighbors, a rooster may not be a good idea.

I have to agree with @sourland There's really no way to know if a rooster will be quiet or loud until you get them. It's all dependant on the particular boy, some are loud and crow all day, some are calmer and only crow occasionally.

I agree with the other's. All rooster's will crow. Some Rooster's have a higher pitched crow than other's, and you won't know that unless you get him when he is already old enough to have been crowing and hear how he does. My nextdoor neighbor has a rooster that has a higher pitched crow than my Naked Neck rooster in my avatar does.

Noise aspect has been replied to...
...but getting a male bird will not necessarily solve your 'bullying' problem.
It could very well create more chaos.

Knowing more about your flock(numbers and ages),
and their housing(size of coop and run in feet by feet with pics),
might help us help you solve the issue.

Nope! A rooster solves some problems, but adds others ... and noise is the first and biggest!

If you're having bullying issues, the first thing to look for is crowding. How big is your coop/run and how many ladies occupy it? What breeds do you have? Bigger chickens need more space and keeping smaller, active bantams doesn't always translate into "I can have lots more hens than that in there!"

Another thing to look at is roost space. Adding another roost will often settle bullying issues, simply because it limits competition for "the best seat in the house."
Arguments over feeders and waterers can also lead to bullying. Make sure you have enough space for several hens to feed at once without hitting each other. Sometimes an extra feed and water station can solve the bullying issues.

Then there's the sheer boredom issues. Remember being locked in the house for a week of rain when you were a kid? By the end of the week, everyone was picking at everyone else and Mom was going NUTS! Chickens are no different, except that they aren't limited to a week of rain. If they're lucky, they live their whole lives in that coop and run ... and boredom bullying is real, even in the chicken world. Remember when Mom brought out the puzzles and board games, or baked cookies with you? Get'em some toys!

There are lots of Inexpensive (i.e. CHEAP!) fixes for boredom:
roosts at different heights with different textures
a bucket with the bottom cut out
a swing (silly as it sounds!) works wonders!

You can also add boredom-busting treats:
a head of cabbage strung on a rope or hung in a wire flower basket
a pumpkin cut in half, with innards intact- Halloween leftovers are really cheap, now
a bin of (safe) kitchen leftovers
a water bottle with holes in the sides and filled with crumbles
there are LOTS of ideas for chicken toys here on BYC. Personally, mine love nothing better than a pile of freshly raked leaves from the yard. They'll spend hours digging through them (bonus: In the Spring, I get awesome compost!)
