Silkie crow volume (how loud are they?)

[fareedmaa87]

Hey there, I'm from Ontario and looking to get into backyard chickens. I've a roughly 1 acre property and we're building a coop/run right now. The only neighbours we have live around 150m away from us, so I was just wondering would a silkie rooster sound loud and clear to them when it crows? Thinking of one rooster and maybe 4-6 hens.

Thanks.

Welcome to byc! I don’t have a silkie rooster, I did have an old english game bantam cockerel who‘s crow was no louder than a standard sized cockerel, but very high pitched. Maybe it‘s the same for silkies?

You think it'd be loud even at 150-200m away?

I’m not really sure, My chickens are a bit closer to my house.

On clear quiet mornings, I can hear a neighbor's rooster that resides around a mile away.
