Why do you want a cockerel at all? Are you intending to breed from him? They aren't necessary for just egg-productionAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb. -

Never heard of a silent Cockerel but yes a cockerel will look to mate with any hen in range - he ain't fussy!The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!

No, sadly there are no noiseless cockerels in existence.
However, some are a lot worse than others, both in enthusiasm and volume! We had a succession of Silkie cockerels, who are a lot easier to live with than most. The only complaint we ever had was from a neighbour who mistakenly thought the terrible noise from a RIR one several doors down was coming from us.
If you can keep them shut in a reasonably solid house until a sensible hour, it shouldn't be too bad. I am rather enjoying not having a cockerel at the moment though.Comment
