X2They're very cute, but I think both male. I wouldn't know about whether or not they're cuckoo though. Best wishes.

I was told what you call Pekins in Australia, is the same as what we call cochin batams here. I have a mottled cochin bantam cockerel. I heard him crow once and never again. I have many cockerels/rooster around for showing an breeding and he is submissive. So mine is very quiet. But since they would be your only cockerels they may be loud, I am not sure.Oh no I was hoping for at least one pulletWe live in the suburbs and I know we are allowed one rooster but 2 might be pushing it with the neighbours.
Does anyone know how noisy pekin bantam roosters are I have no experience of keeping one? Also we have 7 girls all standard size except for 1 pekin girl would this work?
Ohhh just feel really sad don't want to get rid of them they are just too precious

lol, good thing you like the crowing! But it can be stressful when the neighbors don't. Some people do, but one tiny bantam rooster is capable of being heard from ten miles away on a clear night sometimes, depending on topography and so forth... So hopefully you are surrounded by neighbors who will find it nostalgic or whatever, and your little fella/s will not be too loud.Thanks for your response chicken obsessed - very interesting. I do have the ladies number still who we got the chicks from and I did view the father (very handsome) so I might just ask her how loud he is
I do love the sound of a rooster crowing, but not sure whether the neighbours will...
