Hello! I'm a first time duck and chicken owner and I have a question. I have 2 Anconas, 1 Cayuga, and 1 Rouen ducks and recently I've been hearing a deeper kinda quack-like noise coming from one of my ducks, I believe it's Patty the Ancona, however I read that ducklings don't get their voice...
Our easter egger isnt sounding too good, I will break it all down here.
We have bees about 50 feet from our chickens. Its been this way for months now and weve had no problems.
Today our easter egger is making a strange noice when she talks. Her breathing is labored, she sounds like she is...
we have a small backyard flock of 3 hens ( we started with 5 but 2 turned out to be roosters and had to be re-homed), since losing our last male, our EE hen has become very noisy! If she senses any activity outside the coop she immediately starts in with a pterodactyl like screech. Our other...
Can someone please tell me why my 3 month old chicken does this. Its been about a week now. It is getting over cocciadstat and this breathing is getting progressively worse.
Hello, I’m currently the owner of two bluebell type hens which are the noisiest pair I’ve ever met, to the extent I think I’ll have to rehome them before the neighbours complain. If I do that I would want to get another couple, but what breeds would you recommend for an urban backyard? I like...
My coturnix quail has been sick with coccidiosis, so she’s been quarantined and I’ve been treating everyone with Corid. She’s finally better but today she’s been making this weird noise at the other birds that she’s never made before. What could it mean?
I have one problem hen. We used to live on a ranch when we first got our chickens and now we moved to a suburban area which allows chickens so thankfully we were able to keep them as part of our family. Unfortunately I have one hen who seems to be at the top of the pecking order and who must...
Hi there experts! Need your opinions and advice! My duckling of 1.5weeks old (Indian runner duck) is making a small-like sound of a horn? The other two ducklings are still peeping they’re usual chirps but my black duckling started doing this noise maybe two dats ago? At first it sounded muffled...
Hi, I have a pet rooster that i would like to keep at my house, But unfortunately, The neighbours might get annoyed if he lives with me full time.
But I came up with an idea, What if he spends 2 weeks at a relatives place, Then 1 week at my place? Would that work? Or would it put too much...
I have about a two month old goose and duck, the duck runs away from me no matter what. But usually the goose runs up to me and does a little dance when he sees me, flapping his wings and jumping up and down. But today when I went to pet him like usual, he started shaking his head. Like...
My Muscovy hen used to make a more “cluck” like sound that was much deeper. Very recently though she started making this high pitch chirp noise and more frequently! Is this her new noise?
Here is a video of her chirp:
i have two chickens in the city in my backyard and one of them makes very load noises in the morning around 6-6.30. So far I didn’t get complaints yet, but I’m worried the patience level of my neighbors will be reached soon. I’m probably responsible for it myself since I always give them some...
Our new hen was impatient to be let out this afternoon. We'd just let her out for a wander around the yard and she wanted to be let out again, but we thought we'd wait another hour or so. At first she was just making her typical 'let me out' noises (a sort of rrawwwk noise) and then suddenly she...
Hi guys, I am considering adding a rooster to my flock but i live in an area where roosters are banned. I was wondering if roos would actaully be quiter than hens with a collar. My thoughts would be that if the rooster crows 10 times a day, and the hens do 10 egg songs a day, what would be...
Hi everyone, we have a noise problem since our five chickens are fighting for the same nesting box. Our chickens cluck before and after laying eggs and sometimes create a chorus that makes my ears hurt. I read in a forum that one person played classical music to quiet down the chickens. Has...
My 5 month old Easter egger, Robin, has been making this weird noise for a while. She is the only one that does it. I’m wondering why she does it. She usually only makes the noise when I’m around, and when I put my had on her back she stretches her wings out a little and sit down immediately. I...
My two chinese geese are still somewhat loud when my family and I go outside so we are thinking of buying them a hood like one for a falcon is this a good idea?
Hello everyone, Does anyone know how Loud pekin roosters can be? Because i want to get a rooster but in the place we live we are not aloud roosters ( but they allow barking dogs!) I have heard that pekin roosters are nothing compared to bigger roosters and i have also heard that bantams will...
Hi!
I have two chickens, a leg horn and an isa brown. Every day without fail the leg horn makes a lot of noise (they're both hens, by the way). It sounds like she's in pain. She does this in the morning when she wakes up and i think she doesn't 'scream' as much after she has laid her egg.
Is...
Hi all! I'm relatively new to backyard birds and are considering adding two ducks to my family. I have done quite a bit of reading and the more I read, the more nervous I become. I hope you fellow duck and chicken owners can help me know what to expect. I have been lurking on BYC for months now...
