I have a flock of 10 hens, and am just about to place an order for 8 more chicks- all hens. But then I was thinking of adding 1 rooster. I have in my 'cart' the Male Salmon Faverelle. I had read somewhere that they don't crow that much. Which is the only reason I would be allowed to get a rooster.
I've read through the pros and cons of getting a rooster. My main reason would be for 'protection' against the flock. But I would not be able to have a loud, obnoxious rooster that crowed all day.
I would love it if I lived far in the country- but i don't. So I have to keep my neighbors in mind. They would be pretty upset.
SO- is there a better breed for a rooster that is typically more mild mannered?
