Hello all,
I've read the posts about docile breeds, but I didn't get a sense of HOW docile they are. I live in suburbia and ideally I don't want my neighbors to know I have chickens. I have a small yard so only room for 3-4 hens. Can anyone recommend breeds that are nearly quiet and not flighty? I plan to clip wings but want to make sure they can't clear my 4 foot fence. I had cochins as a boy and remember them being relatively quiet and calm but even they got a bit talkative especially after laying. I live in southern CA so weather isn't a factor.
Thank you !
