jennybrom Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hiya, I saw some pekin cockerels at the garden centre yesterday, the lady said that they were very quiet and I just wondered if this was the case? I've looked at a few threads and there seem to be arguments for and against (as there always are!), just wondered if anyone has one and what their experience is. I also read that they are quieter if there is just one of them as they don't have to compete for attention - but next door also has chickens (hybrids) so would they be likely to crow to try and attract them? I'm a bit tempted as they're gorgeous but don't want to rattle the neighbours! ta, jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The quiet cockerel has not been invented them. They crow loudly - all of them. I'm becoming very worried about these garden centres which seem to be offering them without really knowing what they are talking about.

Janty Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Trust me when I tell you that if pekin cockerels were quiet then the white one that we are collecting today would be staying with us. I helped out at Little Hen Rescue at the weekend and there were several cockerals there. The loudest by far was a little lavender pekin.
