Becky,
Thanks for all of the feedback. I got a chuckle out of Freezer Camp.
I'm intrigued with the BB Old English Game Bantams and am interested in having a couple of roosters just because they're so beautiful. I fear though that they're loud and continuous in their cock-a-doodle-doing. I'm also curious how well they play with others. I would be adding them to the additional mix of chicks I've got listed in my signature file.
What have your experiences been with your OEGB Rooster in the noise department? Does he play well with others or is he spending a little too much time in the Time Out Chair?

Because they're so tiny, their crows aren't that loud, but they're high-pitched and 'girly'
Makes them more cute in my opinion, haha. He struts around like he's the king of the world, but doesn't bother any of the other roosters.
I have two OEGB roosters, a silver duckwing (the one who thinks he's hotstuff), and a wheaton. The poor little wheaton is on the bottom of the totem pole around here, so that may be why he's so quiet. But I've had him for a few months, and I've probably only heard him crow twice. The duckwing doesn't bother him unless he gets too close for comfort around his hens. Neither crow nearly as much as my Dutch rooster, who seems to crow 24/7
I've always thought it was almost silly to still call these little guys games, since when I think game chickens, I think mean fighters. But mine have always been quite mellow.
