I think it’s supposed to be on softly for the chickens. Not loud enough to blast over the chicken chatter. No one plays loud music here, but at my parents house the people living behind them were VERY loud. They had both roosters and loud parties with blaring music pretty music most weekends...

I’ve got one kind of a loud mouth, it’s just her personality. 😂 I’m not willing to sacrifice ventilation. Yep, it’s totally legal here. Someone who’s got to be miles away has a rooster. I heard it at 5am this morning and rooster aren’t allowed, so I really shouldn’t worry. I’m less anxious about...

I wasn’t looking to fully soundproof, just keep the noise down to a minimum. You’re right though, I have no idea what kind of people will be moving in. I’ve been in the same house for the last 15 years and in all that time no one close by has moved, so I’ve never had to even think about any of...

White noise a really good idea! I currently have one wind chime up. The early morning egg song has got to be my greatest concern. The rest of the time they really aren’t that loud. Other then sometimes one just likes to sing for the joy of singing, she’s got a set of lungs. Putting in a radio is...

Oh, don’t worry. They free range all day. I’m only worried about the occasional early morning ruckus/loud egg song.

Preach! I could hear someone’s rooster at 5am this morning.

Sometimes they wake up earlier then expected and start a ruckus. True, it could be a waste of time and money. But if anyone has a tried something simple/inexpensive, it wouldn’t hurt to try it. Thank you for responding.

I agree, it’s very expensive. But it has a smaller footprint compared to a full sized shed, and it’s pretty much ready to go. I’m putting in a gardening shed and don’t have the space for 2 large sheds. I also don’t want the hassle of finding someone to help with a conversion. It seems like...

I’m known for being really friendly with the neighbors, I make them treats for the holidays, or baked goods just because, fresh vegetables. Always willing to help out with anything if I can. It would make me sad if someone difficult ended up right next door, but I shouldn’t worry until there’s...

That’s so cool, I really like it. How did you cut those ventilation holes?

No, no roosters. Only 3 chickens, and yes they are allowed. It’s just not a real big chicken community, and you never know with new neighbors.

I don’t know anyone personally. And honestly, I don’t know how to go about finding someone reliable otherwise.

Currently, I’ve only got 3. Have been considering a 4th but wouldn’t jump into that until new neighbors move in and I know they are okay with it. I’m happy to hear this coop muffles sound well as it is, even with added ventilation. I see you’ve got lights, did you purchase the electrical kit or...

I will absolutely do this. I just hope they aren’t the kind of folks always looking for something to complain about. It’s rare, but it’s happens. There’s always that one person that you can’t please no matter what you do, and that’s my worry.

This is something I seriously considered, repurposing a dog house. I’ve been keep an eye on the craigslist listings to see if anything good comes arise. There was a cute barn style one, but it turned out it was sold awhile back and they forgot to remove the listing. Darn. Then you know what I’m...

I’m wanting something a bit smaller then a shed this time around, because I’d like to put in a new gardening shed as well. 2 are pretty quiet, 1 likes to sing her heart out. 😂

I’lll have to look into that more. Thank you

All you crafty people are making me feel bad I can’t build my own. I’m scared to death of using a power saw, or anything like that. I’ve never used those kinds of tools. But I can assemble furniture and things that are precut and ready to drill, nail, or glue.

Oh, yes I know it’s tiny. And I was planning to add more ventilation to it. Currently I’ve only got a trio. I wouldn’t have more than 3 or 4 where I’m living now. Darlin, I don’t have the skills/tools to build a coop from scratch. ;) I was actually using a old converted shed, but it was just...

I suppose you’re right, I shouldn’t waste effort. It’s just I’ve had such a good thing going for years, you know? I don’t want new neighbors to potentially rock the boat, and I don’t want them to think I don’t care about them.
