[Crest Acres Girl]

Now thats an idea! wish i woulda thought of it instead of giving up most of my roos

HA Ha! My bantam roo is louder, prouder and always crowing, a higher pitch than all three of my standard roo's so more people notice his crowing...the guy who owns the building supply on the other side of a neighbor always asks: "What are you feeding those roosters?!? VIAGRA??!?? They crow all Day!!" (And he only registers or hears the bantam crow...never seems to hear the lower pitched standard crowing

A have both a banty roo and a standard roo. The banty is a tenor and the standard is a bass. They have about the same volume. I love hearing them because they are funny.

Truthfully, I can't hear them in the house unless I am listening for them. My coop is about 30' from the house. I haven't asked my neighbors yet if they bother them, but all my neighbors live at least a football field away.

The banty roos are a trip. Mine totally has "Little Man Syndrome". He thinks he's tough stuff!

My BB red roo is now known as "Mr. Big Stuff" as in the old song (showing my age here

"Mr. Big Stuff -- who do you think you are?" I was ROFL at another BYCer's post who referred to hers as being the size of a Coke can, but that's about right! With the bantam roo attitude, it's a good thing they're not as big as a Jersey Giant -- they could tear down a house! That being said, my guy doesn't crow much at all. He has his two bantam ladies (midget & gidget -- gidget is the dark feathered one; midget is the blonde) and they stay fairly close to him. He crowed several times the first few days I had him (got him Monday; is now Friday) but he seems content and has done very little crowing in the last 2-3 days. and yes, I checked: he IS still there!

We've got two Bantam Roos, one sounds pretty good (and he's loud) the other sounds like he swallowed a kazoo (VERY pathetic).

They both start crowing just before sunup and go ALL day long

My neighbors are quite a ways off so I doubt they bother them that much...then again my coon hound makes WAY more noise than my birds do so it's all relative.

My Bantie roo is not real loud for the most part, however, when he gets all upset over something he can loudly carry on. But it doesn't last to long. For the most part, he is pretty quiet & he has a nice cock a doddle doo

I was against getting any roos but then when I was at my last trade day I heard a lady's Japanese banty crowing and it was the most hilarious thing I've ever heard!! I kept asking in amazement if he was always this "quiet" (well, compared to a standard) and she assured me that he always crowed liked that. Maybe it's just something with the Japanese banty roos?

Oh I forgot to mention - after hearing her Japanese banty I'm thinking if I get a roo, it'll be just that breed.

I have 10 banty roos that are crowing so far, and I can't hear them inside the house, unless they decide to eat the puppy's food on the deck, or they are outside the window, with the window open. They are pretty loud if you are standing next to them, but a neighbor can hear one of my dad's roos (probably the SLW) very well, but can't hear mine at all... Their voices are usually more high-pitched, which doesn't seem like it carries too far. BTW, the barn that they roost in is about 30-40 feet from the house, and I can't hear them inside at all when they go to roost, and all of them start crowing!!

I have a BR roo that is just beginning to crow. He is no louder than the neighbors dog(which is out all day and night and is barking all the time) Or the other neighbors that crank up their stereo's(car and house) and then use the little green space we have on the corner as their yard. Since they have junk cars etc in theirs. Plus their dog which also barks all day.

That said. My barn owner has a mixed flock of standards and banties. I hardly ever hear any of the roosters crow. But she told me that the banties carry further because of the pitch.
I am still wanting a Golden Sebright roo though. Even if he has to have a bachelor pad
