so far not very loud, his dad dosnt make much noise till about daylight.
as for the eating - i try to make that the very last resort, all the males i have at the moment have a wee storey behind them
one, came to me after falling off the back of a wagon
one, was a gift for my 16th
one was hatched by a duck, and fostered onto another hen
and the wee bantam is the first offspring of the one that came off the wagon
just seems a shame - but if i have to i will

I have a few bantam cockerels around the place, and some are more noisy than others.  A couple of them I have never heard crow yet.
