@mallard_maniac already tried bobwhites and coturnix, he wants a bird that is capable of ranging in a pen and returning to a coop loyally at evening. I tried suggsting turkeys and guineafowl but he wants a chicken breed.
perhaps the closest living relatve to the junglefowl that is not a member of the Gallus group. Does lay olive eggs but is a seasonal layer and can never be free ranged unless clipped and penned up. They barely make any noise at all.
whats the quietest chicken breed in the world?
