Need a Calm QUIET Rooster Breed if there is such a thing !!

Really?

Yep. I processed an 8 or 7 yr old male last spring, but that's more because I was changing males and his feathers wouldn't come back in after a bad more infestation when he was a yearling. He wasn't showable and getting older, I was worried about fertility even with a new pullet.

The aggressive hens went to a friend who wanted them, and he had watched them grow up so he was more than aware that they liked their blood offerings fresh . They laid decently though considering they were the same age as the male I culled. I wonder if he still has then or if this winter was too hard on them.....

That's an old chicken.

My sumatra pullet is bossy, but not aggressive.

A lot of my males are getting to that age unfortunately.

Yep, the males I'm keeping in my 2021 chick order thread. Lots of new and different breeds since most of my older ones are mixed now

You can simply buy some eggs, or get some eggs from your friends when the hen gets broody. If you want the babies to be from your hens i recommend a bantam

Have you considered a Swedish flower rooster? I have zero issues with human aggressions and they are calm.

They crow the most in the morning. But it's not constant. And throughout the day 1 or 2 crows, at dusk they crow to tell the hens to get in the coop. Just my observation of my own rooster.

But all rooster will crow, some are very loud and some are not. Or you can try a laughing crow rooster. Ayam ketawa. There's YouTube videos of the volume and pitch of there crows.
