    Quietest Breeds

    Thank you for asking this. I too am looking for a quiet breed. My girls last year liked to welcome the sun with a loud song at 5:30 in the morning.

    teeny egg today

    My girl has been laying steady uniform in size eggs. Yet today she layed a teeny tiny torpedo egg. Is this normal? What caused it?

    Black sex-link

    So far the one we originally had with the Austerlorp is very quiet. Even when laying. I can say the new one didnt wake me up at 530am like the Austerlorp did so thats a bonus. She seems "talkative" but not "screaming to the sun at 530 am" lol

    Black sex-link

    I have 2 black sex-link hens or red rock hens as i was told they were but research tells me i should be calling them black sex-link lol. Im wondering about how they are? We had a Austorlorp before but she was very loud so we gave her back and got the black sex-link.

    loud hen at 5:30am

    Update for everyone. I talked with the person we got her from. She is half Austerlorp and will probably not get much quieter as its part of the breed. We will be bringing her back and trading for a quieter town friendly hen.

    loud hen at 5:30am

    So one of my friends who has had chickens forever says that it is a hen and she may be cycling and just wants to sit. She recomended putting golf balls into the nest and tarping the coop to keep it dark

    loud hen at 5:30am

    Thats what i feared. Wish i could post the video of it making the sound. My husband messaged the guy he got them from and i think we might be able to bring it back and get a different hen
