EE or Brahma roo

[ShrekDawg]

I'm mostly just curious but also wondering for in case I ever add a rooster, which of those two breeds do you prefer?

I've heard the Brahmas are just like big gentle giants and usually good and/or friendly roos.

But then I just saw this ad and it mentioned how the EE's crow is better.

In case you don't want to go to the page or can't, it says

"Many people also prefer the softer more melodic crow of the roosters. "

Do you think that's true or not really?

Which breed do you prefer and which would you get? I don't want too loud of a rooster so the softer prettier crow if it's true appeals to me.

Or is it not true?

Or do you prefer a different breed of rooster altogether?

Still curious about this

I had a barred rock and a rir roo I was quite impressed with. The crowing wasn't too obnoxious. They minded the hens and didn't attack me which is about all I can ask for from a rooster.

My bantam cochin rooster is very quiet and gentle, not to mention super cute!

Thanks for the input!

I had heard RIRs can be nasty but I guess it just depends on the rooster

I currently have one of each now, but they are only 4 months old. They have been crowing for a couple weeks. The EE is louder now, but who knows if it will stay that way.

Thanks! Interesting how he's louder

Each rooster is different. Smaller breeds will have quieter crows (but often will be more shrill).

Thanks, that makes sense

Do you think it will at least be quieter than a dog or all te crows and blue jays? haha

Eh...probably. I don't notice my roosters/cockerels at all.
