quiet

So my rooster crows all day every day. Super loud and annoying. Today i tossed the flock some sourdough pieces of bread and since then he’s been pretty quiet all day. Like, insanely quiet compared to his usual behavior. I have to pick up more bread but if anyone out there has some left over...

We have a small flock of 4 backyard laying hens. We are looking to add another 2 hens (live in city limits, so we can have 6 hens total, and hopefully on the quieter end, pullet chicks). We have 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks, a Sapphire Gem and a Sapphire Olive Egger. All are pretty great foragers...

Looking for a quality QUIET(no humming or ticking) incubator that can hold at least 20 eggs. Any suggestions?

My flock has had white diarrhea and occasional respiratory issues since the end of May/ beginning of June, diagnostic testing and a vet isn’t an option currently so I know it’s anyone’s guess what my flock actually has. Some suggestions included renal coccidia, or a very mild form infectious...

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...

I was thinking about getting some hatching eggs but I'm still split about what breeds to get. I would only like a trio. My problem is I have neighbors so I don't want a very loud goose. What goose breed would you recommend that isn't very loud? I was considering Toulouse, Pilgrim, Embden or even...

Hello all!! I’m in day 1 of lockdown and my once active eggs are eerily still. Is this normal from your experiences? Air cells look good (maybe slightly on the smaller side but in my opinion almost perfect). They’re in a Brinsea Mini Advanced II and laying on sides with low part of cell face...

So I've discovered that my rooster, who normally will crow before it even gets light outside, has an off switch! If I put him into his basket nest and tuck him into bed with a towel in a dark space, then he will sleep until I get him up without making a peep. He won't crow at all until I take...

The black Australorp is a very friendly breed of chicken and is good with children....all people really. It is a quieter breed and is great for a place with a big neighborhood. Buuuut, I'm not sure about roosters, I think THEY are still loud. Any questions about Black Australorps? Please ask...

Hi! We have a Welsummer that is about 7 months old. Normally when I go into the coop in the morning to give the hens some worms, she runs straight up to the door and is clucking very loudly. We noticed the last couple of days she has been very quiet, moving slowly, and sleeping a lot standing...

I acquired 4 baby chicks from our Ag Teacher at school, and I am looking to add a couple of chickens to my flock My current chicks are roughly 2 weeks old, and are suppose to be silver laced wyandotte crossed with Ameraucana. I plan on keeping the two friendliest that are hens and selling or...

Hey all! I'm new to raising ducks and we got our ducklings at 4 weeks old and they are now around 10 weeks old. 3 of them make a definite "quack" sound now, but the biggest one of the bunch (I'm suspecting it's a drake) is very very quiet. He still makes duckling chirping noises and doesn't have...

We just got our first hen from what turns out was a very dodgy flock owner. We've had Peggy, a 6-month old Australorp/Barnevelder mix, for about a week and a half. She's our only current chook, seeing as we've discovered that she's got both lice and coryza and decided to postpone creating a...

I'm adding to my flock to balance out the male/female ratio. I currently have 2 pekin females and 2 cayuga males. Looking to keep things quiet since I live within city limits. Which would be quieter, cayuga or swedish blue?
