Do bantam roos crow quieter than the big ones?

[baldie]

Okay, I am just curious, I have a barred cochin bantam cockrel and 2 N.H. Red cockrels, all 3 cockadoodle although my barred cochin is just learning. He is a lot quieter than the other boys, my question is do you think he'll get louder with time and be a loud a the N.H.'s? Thanks, Chrissie

My bantams crow just as loud as the others. I think the loudest is a Large Sultan and a very large Polish Top Hat. If you are close by it will deafen you!!

I have a little Mille Fleur D'Uccle - I can't hear him when I'm in the house and he's in the back yard.

(then again, we have trains going thru town and I dont 'hear them either - unless I'm waiting for that horn to blow)

Thanks, I wasn't sure. I thought maybe because he's so much smaller that he wouldn't crow as loud. It doesn't bother me any. I think it's cute. I make up what I assume they are yelling about. Like in the morning it is Let-Me-Out, then around 2:30, it sounds like Give-Me-A-Treat, and at dusk, it sounds like Okay-Everyone-In. I tell everyone thats what they are saying. They just don't understand rooster language!!LOL!!!

I had silkies that would scream-crow. It was louder than heck. I ended up keeping the lowest crower and got rid of the others that where loud

The higher pitch of my banty makes his crow seem to carry farther and my regular roo, but then the banty is two months older so maybe just he's had more practice.
