Rooster Breed with Loudest Crow?

[Acre4Me]

I got the BJG is a Black Jersey Giant. EE is Easter Egger. Is a BA a Black Australorp?

So the loudest is the Jersey Giant?

I’d say the Dark Brown leghorns were loudest. They had the ear-splitting note in their crow - more annoying and carried farther it seems. The BJG is loud, but easier on the ears, plus less crowing overall.

All acronym assumptions were correct!

Well, Brown Leghorn seems to fit based on my picture here.

Although, it is a Light Brown Leghorn, not a Dark Brown Leghorn. Probably not much difference in crowing.

We had a rooster crowing video contest here on BYC last winter....it was interesting to hear all the different crows:

I dunno about being the LOUDEST, but the RIR cockerel we used to have before his "protectiveness" became too much of an issue had a pretty loud crow, definitely something the entire neighborhood could hear, lol

My Silkie has a deep, soft, almost baritone crow. We nicknamed him The Melancholy Rooster, because he always sounds so sad! My Bantam Nankins have a shrill, almost piercing crow, but it's not terribly loud, all things considered (and with that piercing note, I am sincerely grateful for the softer volume!)
My sister's RIR, on the other hand is still going and crowing VERY loudly at ten years old. Tyson has the loudest, most obnoxious crow I've ever heard. Unfortunately, he's got the temperament to match, but since he lives on a busy dairy farm, replete with numerous (fixed) cats, a chicken-eating hound, coons, opossums and coyotes, he's always got a reason to sound off ... or at least HE thinks he does!
Those are HIS hens, in HIS territory and it's his bounden duty to let the world know it ... ad nauseum!

The quietest rooster is hands down a serama rooster (because his lungs are so small) and the loudest are usually brahama roosters

A lot of things come into play. There is decibel level, and then the frequency, the higher pitch seems to carry better/be more annoying. Having had a lot of breeds, I would say the leghorns rank right up there at the top for loudest/ most annoying. Love my big orientals with their bass voices and short four syllable crows. Ur Ur Ur Ur, sounds like a truck with a dead battery trying to start.

My silkies are ridiculous when they crow. A high pitched do do do do dooo. I have a barnyard mix who can be heard well down the road and he starts early! Like 4 a.m. early.

The 4 a.m. crowing would be a problem. I want the rooster to crow when the sun comes up, like a normal rooster should.

I suppose if you were in Alaska or something in the summer the sun could be rising at 4 a.m.

Interesting factoid: Chickens can see the sky lightening from approaching sunrise before we can, thus in some places 4am = only an hour or two before sunrise, the sky is getting lighter, the chickens are beginning to wake up, etc .
