    Too much noise?

    My brooder is in my workshop where I’m cutting wood and making noise, my chicks form a pile in the corner of the brooder every time I turn on a piece of machinery. Is it ok to subject them to so much noise?

    Is it weird that when I talk to my chickens, they shake their heads very fast?

    So when I go up to their house, they stare at me and try looking at me by turning their head facing one eye looking at me. Chickens can’t look straight. And when I talk to them, they shake their heads now. I don’t think they did that before or maybe they always do when I talk to them. My voice...

I live on a small lot (1/2 acre) and just checked and legally am allowed up to three POULTRY - which is "any domesticated fowl...etc etc." But it pretty clearly would allow for ducks, which I didn't realize until today.

    Chicken just won't shut up!

    I have a chicken that was given to me by friends that keep a large flock of chickens for eating. They don't know what breed she is and I haven't been unable to find out through research either. She is very large and very heavy. I'm going to attempt to attach a picture. She is orange with...

    The welsummer that won’t shut up, feed related?

    I’ve mentioned a few times about the (currently about 8/9 months old) welsummer that just makes a racket. She’s always been this way, and it’s been funny but also frequently annoying. She also rarely makes actual chicken noises. She barks (visitors & we mistake her for the dogs), she makes a...

    Silkie hen is frequently making loud cackling noise

    Hello! I've been raising four silkie hens in my (urban) backyard since last July. My dominant hen (Gwyneth Poultry) recently started making an extremely loud 'chattering' or 'cackling' call every few minutes throughout the day; it's somewhat like the sound that kookaburras make. My neighbors and...

    Starting to get noisy at 4-5am

    Our hens are normally very quiet at 4-5am when I get up to feed them and it's usually the ducks making the noise. Usually due to their quietness, I count everyone up to make sure nobody is dead because of how anxious I get. Now for the past couple days, they're starting to cluck inside their...
