➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

From what I have heard they are very loud/noisy birds so that might get annoying! Lol unless you don’t mind that.

I don't mind the noise. To me, animals are meant to make noise and chatter and communicate. If I wanted silent animals, I'd get fish. LOL

that’s a good point lol I agree and I like some chatter and noise but from what I hear, with guineas it’s pretty excessive

Loud. Peacock loud. Parrot screaming loud. Wake the neighborhood loud.

I'd like to say pleasant like a rooster, but it isn't. Utube and you will experience it with volume control.

Dude. What kind of guineas do you have? My specimens have been noisy, sure, but I can barely hear them from inside.

None. Brother had a set. Since we don't lurk in the dungeon, oops, "basement", the walls are thinner.

They screamed outside while I was attempting to sleep. Attempting being the keyword here.

They made noise at night? Either you fall asleep before I eat dinner, or your bro had a guinea-torturing machine set up in his coop.

I never hear a sound out of my guineas at night. They are too busy sleeping on their roosts to be making noise.

When awake, my guineas never shut up but most of their chatter is a soft sing song, whistling talk which is quite pleasant to listen to.

Screaming at a cat walking along their fence line and the constant "buckwheat" of a hen without a mate are a different matter.

Think trying to sleep through dawn. He could never coop train them (for several reasons). They slept in the rafters until the owls got them. They'd come up to the house for reasons only the guineas knew. Right outside the sleeping room, this unholy racket erupted. At dawn. After a long day with a chainsaw. And a generous night cap of scotch. I just wanted to sleep but, awoke ready to butcher guineas.

 

[BantyChooks]

Hm, as would I. I wonder why they were so noisy? Perhaps they were holding a protest.

Ditto---during summer, all my windows are open; they face the coop and are a mere hundred feet away. Never heard a peep from them. They most definitely turn into screeching banshees when upset, though. I named my three "Siren", "Alarm", and "Air Horn" after a long few weeks of having to pick up and carry them inside every night. My poor ears.
