What breed is the quietest roo?

I have Oriental Gamefowls and maybe it's just mine but they don't crow too often at all. Now, neighbor has American Gamefowl and good gawd those damn boogers crow all day e'vvvvvery day!

Just a thought, could yours not be crowing because your neighbors roosters have it covered?

Nah, he'll lay the smack down with a lower tone vicious crow that will shut them up when they get on his nerves. To compare my neighbor's rooster crows to mine is like comparing kitten meows to an alpha male lion's roar!

Thanks all! I’ve decided to get a rooster when the fall shipment comes in. I’m going to bring him inside during the night.

My rooster had a health issue couple yeas ago. Brought him inside.
Never bring a rooster inside your home. You only THINK he begins crowing at 5am!

They don't just crow in the morning. They crow all day long. And often during the night if they hear something or there's any light.

I've heard that Orpingtons are fairly quiet for standards, but you would probably have the best luck with a bantam rooster.

My bantams are not as loud as standard fowl, but they're shrill ... and get up just as early. Your best bet for a rooster is to bring him inside at night and put him out again in the morning. That's the only way your neighbors won't hear the loud crowing in the morning. They won't ... but YOU will!
We have had an indoor/outdoor roo for the longest time - Herman the House Rooster. He spent his first year inside and still comes in occasionally, but now he mostly stays out with his harem, only coming in during the worst of the winter. He's a non-bearded Silkie, and he has a deep, almost baritone voice (at least for a chicken!) He sounds so sad - even when he's ecstatically happy - that we call him our "Melancholy Rooster!"
EDIT to fix a typo ...

4:30 every morning, like clockwork ... and every time a car drives by with the headlights on ... and every time someone gets up to use the bathroom ... and every time the dog woofs in her sleep ... and every time the cat knocks something off a counter ... and ...

If you ask around on your State Thread, here, I'll bet you'll find a sweet-tempered cockerel or rooster that someone wants to rehome ... and the bonus will be that you can listen to his crow first and decide if you can deal with his voice!

My big light Brahma rooster, 6 months old, doesn’t crow excessively and when he does it’s low and hoarse, like he’s got laryngitis. My husband’s nephew’s light Brahma, same age, sounds the same. I half expect Reggie to cough and gasp at the end of his crow. Lol. Not noisy at all.
