Chicken owners: are Brahma cocks quiet?
Some breed pages claim they are exceedingly gentle and very quiet; that their crow is rarely heard and that they tolerate other Brahma cocks without constant battling. Some breed pages say nothing of the kind. So someone out there who actually owns them, fill me in. I have 6 Red Star pullets (last spring's hatch) and I'm considering a 6-pack of straight-run Brahmas (large fowl, not bantams) for this spring... but my next door neighbor's house is pretty close, and I don't want to annoy him; he's a great neighbor. I cannot bring myself to butcher excess cocks, and you can't give them away: no one wants them. So if I get more than one cock in the 6, will we have peace in the yard, this summer?
Thanks in advance.
