Welcome to BYC - have that 'Plan B' all polished and ready to be instituted.

Maybe you should move.

I agree! The market is insane right now. We want to move! But are not sure if we will be able to this season. But yes.. we def want to. Especially chickens being more of a gateway, i feel we will eventually own more animals in our life that are impossible to hide hahaha

Hello, and welcome to BYC.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but just as the others have mentioned, hens can be noise. I have 3 or 4 in my flock that think they need to sing (loudly), every time they lay an egg. You might see if your neighbor would be agreeable to you having them, with the understanding, if they are a disturbance to them, you would promptly be rid of them. Then be sure your neighbor gets a weekly supplement of fresh eggs.

I think i will take quail eggs over to my neighbor this week..m i brought her fresh baked bread last week. So maybe she will be up for talking.... If i get her ok, we are good to go. So i guess i will have to be brave!
The last time i quickly mentioned wanting chickens was at the beginning of quarentine in March and she mentioned how her and "her husband do not go anywhere anymore and didnt want to listen to chickens out their back door".. so i wonder if things have changed at all for them now. We will see..

4 birds shouldn't be that noisy. It also seems some breeds are more vocal than others. The leghorns and orpingtons I have had have been the loudest. I will never have leghorns again. They are always wound up about something! The australorps and ameracaunas have been very quiet.

Hey thanks! Yeah. Def debating!

Welcome to BYC! I'm sorry about your town's ordinances

Some chickens are pretty quiet, but it's really on an individual basis, and you won't find out which ones those are until they're adults.

Their egg song and a few other louder sounds (like a squawk of alarm) will easily carry over 80 feet. I'm on 4 acres and neighbors are on 2 each, and I can hear my birds on the road two houses away.

Welcome to BYC. Seems like wherever people live/move to, others are determined to "RAIN on their parade."
