You can come collect the darn 7 of them that hang around here all the time. They drive me mad .

I'm with you satay, I've got a flock of ducks hanging around and turbo chooks. Problem is they all recognize a free feed when they see one. The turbo chooks make a lot of noise, usually about 2-3 am.

I don't think I could have more than one Guinea fowl for the noise factor. I would have lost a lot of birds to foxes without her though. She has a particular alarm call that I just drop everything and run to check the fuss.

13 or of 14 dark olive eggs hatched also!

Congrats Chook, you are having a great hatch. You will be even more overrun with chickens.

Mum teaching them to roost already.

Wouldthick rubber covered by carpet be safe for the chickens? That should dampen it enough so it won't disturb the neighbours

I'm sure I saw a box on here for a noisy rooster that was lined with carpet. There were metal air vents all around the eaves that were all pointing down to minimise the noise. I believe it worked fairly well. There were pictures...was it in this thread? Does anyone else recall it?

Bbbbaaaaahahahaha Satay.. Imagine them in a suburban area! I think the worst we get is bush turkeys.. They aren't too noisy but DO NOT leave the house doors open if they're around! We have one around here I call him Bert, he came in and took one of my Gucci heels and we found it on his mound! And with legs and nails like his I was so scared to take it back I teased him off with food for the snatch!.. Poor Bert I think he may be gender confused with his passion for high heels hehehe

It was I who has the night box, haven't used it in a few months as we have been roo-less, but we have some little 5 week olds so we might keep one of them boys for a bit.
