There is no need to keep you hens company, they will get on just fine with a rooster and be even happier without the bullish behavior of one.

No I don't keep them their crow is not as high pitched as other bantams.

Marc R your contribution is nonsensical ?.
Joric when you say bantam do you mean true ,ie miniature fowl
or not as someone else is suggesting you get a game cock which will make small hens very unhappy when it matures.
Some true bantam roosters are fairly quiet and wont get you in to trouble with neighbours if that's the issue. But not to crow as normal? well is abnormal and im sure someone on here will be only too delighted to stick you with one of them.

Hi bantam1, thanks for the response, im looking for a true bantam, yes im concern about nieghbours, i know that theres no rooster that wont crow, but some of the tiniest bantams has a squick more than a crow, theres a few that would come out in a brood, mostly from serama, japanese bantams, sebrights, belgian quail and some other tiny breeds. there might someone out there that might have one. Thanks again.

Hello again. if you choose one of the ones you mentioned then you should not have a noise issue with adjoining neighbours,
even in a built up area provided you approach it sensibly.
Good luck with it.
Regards.

Belgians make none stop noise. Crow the whole day long.
Your hens don't need a male. They will be happy without a cockerel. The hens will go broody anyway and at that time you can get fertile eggs and move these under the sitting hen.

If you go with any type of Belgians
They crow very often and is very high pitched
And as others have said
You don't need a rooster to keep hens company

some seramas re quite crowers but depends on how far you are from the neighbours
you can buy collars to soften the roosters crow lthough i think it wouldnt be very fair to the bird
