Hi Kelsie2290, I checked out the chicken comparison chart. That was very helpful. Thanks.

Two Crows, How noisy are Black Austerlop hens? I want to get one, but I keep reading in the comments area they can be noisy. I live in a subdivision and I want my neighbors to be happy, so I am looking for quiet, but sweet hens.

Drumstick Diva, If a broody hen will accept day old chicks, would that mean they would be instantly a part of the flock and I wouldn't have to worry about integrating them?

Are Austerlops loud? I live in a residential neighborhood and need quiet chickens. What would be the best choice?

I am considering a small flock of chickens, not roosters. The ones I am most interested in are Buff Orpingtons, Black Austerlops, Plymouth Rock, and Easter Eggers. Do any of these have problems with being broody?

What does broody actually mean? Is it a good thing or bad. I think it is when a chicken will sit on eggs, but do they do that with unfertilized eggs? (Meaning there is no rooster in site?) What's bad about a chicken being broody? What's good?
