I know. I really wanted to keep him, but it was between Cornelius and the Sebright. Cornelius made it very easy for me to choose him.

Here's a picture of my "Little Roo", a Silver Spangled Hamburg. He was supposed to be a hen but Murray McMurray sent him in my shipment. Oh well, he is a very pretty cockerel (he's 25 weeks old) and he likes to crow whenever he feels like it. He will "converse" with both the neighbors' roos who are within 1/2 mile. When I'm home in the afternoon he really goes to town even if the neighbors' roos are not. And he's very loud. I suspect he does this when I not home too. lol
I also have a Buttercup (19 weeks old) who only crows in the morning before he comes out of the coop. I can hear them both and it sounds like the Buttercup is almost an octave lower than Little Roo and not quite as loud. I suppose that could change as "Cupcake" gets older.
Fortunately, my other neighbors who don't have chickens have told me how much they love to hear my roo crowing. Yeah-they also like fresh eggs!
