How to quiet loud hens?

[mj79]

Hello, we added 3 new hens to our flock last spring (Wyandotte) we now have 6 total all. The older 3 have always been pretty quiet but the 3 new ones who are now full grown and laying, constantly walk around the yard clucking very loudly, they just sand there squawking like crazy (we live in the city so noise is an issue). Any ideas how I can quiet them down? We may have to get rid of them and just keep the older nice, quiet respectable gals LOL...Thanks!

There is no way to shut up loud-mouthed hens. They are opinionated and they're going to let the entire world know what's on their minds. Some even crow because they enjoy the sound of it.

You already understand your options.

Thanks, that's what I thought, but wasn't sure if there was some tricks I was missing.
