Is there such a thing as a quiet rooster?

WOOT for a good crow - and There is nothing that will make ya laugh harder then a first crow WOOT --

A couple breeds get talked about as "quiet" birds I have a standing order if I ever Read Serama Boys don't crow I am going to send them a couple --
It is a Personality trait - Not a breed trait --

You're right about the first crow! Ours sounded like it was underwater snorkeling. Kind of scary, too.

My Sumatras are pretty quiet. Out of the four roos or so roos I have, only ONE (the dominant one) crows and maybe once or twice per day. My Sultans (bantams) never crow....at least not that I've ever heard...

Oh good, I'm glad you said that about the Bantams, I have a silkie roo and he has never crowed. I was getting worried.

My FIL HATED our rooster, because he crowed 24/7. He said "don't they make quiet animals??"

He ended up getting attacked by some stupid Pit Bulls anyway (the rooster, that is, not my FIL... LOL)

I have four Chabo (Japanese bantam) roosters, and they are so quiet that I thought I'd gotten hens by accident. They cluck a bit, usually softly, and one of the crowed once or twice and it was really soft.

Does anyone else have Japanese bantams/Chabos? If only one of the four roos wasn't crowing I'd think it was just a fluke, but all four of them are the quietest chickens I've ever had, male and female.

My buff orp doesn't crow except once or twice in the morning. But, he thinks that we should be feeding him at 6:14 in the morning.

My white Cochin bantam croaks instead of crows. He's not loud, and it's more a "six am and all is well" kind of thing. Couple of croaks and he's done. The neighbors (in town) say they never hear it. I think they're listening for a cock-a-doodle-do and not a grrr-ahh.

Yep I have a lovely purebred white silkie silent rooster...He flaps, dances, mates, finds bugs for the hens and makes no sound. He's only 8 months old, but usually they crow by 6 months. Just a late bloomer?
