It's so true!
I have four Silkie Roosters and about 12 hens, and I have never had a problem with them crowing at night. I have also never had a real problem with them picking on hens, or fighting with each other. They were raised from day old chicks together though, and I have heard that this makes a difference.
They do crow during the day. A LOT. And when they do, sometimes it is incredibly loud, and sometimes it sounds like someone is strangling them. If your neighbor did not like the first roo, I would not suggest going out to get a new one. You will just end up heartbroken again. Sorry.
