Hello all,
I would like to have 2-3 chickens in our backyard but I'm concerned about noise. The coop/run would be in the back of our yard and about 40-50 feet from four different neighbors' homes. Is there anything I can do to minimize the potential noise?
For example, do they usually make noise when they're inside or outside the coop? Would it help to build a coop with insulated walls?
Are some breeds noisier than others? I would like reliable egg production and am thinking about getting 2-3 Rhode Island Red pullets from a local supplier. (I'm in Oakland, CA.)
Thanks for any tips or recommendations!
Dave
