The quietest breed of hens is "paradoxically" the Longcrower.
The Kosovo Longcrower is a breed of chicken originating in Kosovo, it is a breed bred for the voice, there will not be as many deviations as in any other breeds, where no one focuses on the voice in the selection and therefore it is here (unlike other characters) such variability. When a breed is bred for laying, figure or combativeness, deliberate long-term selection in these traits is usually more or less uniform and permanent. And it will be the same with breeds bred for vocal expression.
The longcrower does not necessarily mean noisy, it has such a name because it differs from other breeds or excels in something ... Ayam Ketawa has a giggling crow, the Berg Berg cock long and loud. For the Kosovo cockerel, it seems to me that the crowing is hoarse and deep, as if it didn't engage the vocal cords at all.
Compared to crowing other breeds, it is absolutely undisturbing. Visitors who have not yet met a Kosovo longcrower will usually have a smile on their face and the question "what is it?".
Saying (though slightly modified): Better to hear once a hundred times as seen here applies perfectly.
They communicate with each other much more often. They have a rich vocal expression and their silent croaking with various intonations remotely resembles the croaking of a crow.
They are quiet and unobtrusive on the nest. Like other breeds of hens, the laid eggs do not announce the typical Cockroach, but they wait on the nest not to reveal it and literally disappear from it when no one sees them.
Someone likens their crowing to the gurgling of water, and at 30 meters or through a window you can't hear ... the problem could be when you come across a rooster from a farm where the Kosovo cocker is crossed with other breeds, or breeds focused on the exterior, it is probably a disaster what it will do with their long-bred voice.
