Easter Egger Question

[eslyder92]

I have read mixed reviews on this But can some one answer if Easter Eggers are a quiet "breed" or if they are noisy? Thanks

Well, my rooster is definitely not quiet. My hen is though. I think in general, the hens are on the quieter side. There are, of course, exceptions though, so I can't say for sure that if you get an EE she will be quiet.

So it really depends on the hen it self and not the breed...

Exactly.

yeah, you can't really determine how loud/quiet a chicken will be based on breed...
hens are usually quiet, and all my roosters are noisy. one breed that I found particularly quiet for the crow is the d'uccle. Other than that, I could say all my roosters are noisy and all my hens are quiet

I’ll agree with other posts here that it can vary from chicken to chicken, regardless of breed.

I would think, however, that even if one person experienced certain behavior with a breed, it’s different with hybrids. Genetic mixes are weird and can display dominant traits from anything in their bloodline... be it appearance, egg color, or behavior.

Also, Why are concerned with noise? Is it mainly personal preference, or do you need to adhere to certain ordinances in your area?

I have 2 EEs. They are the loudest when it comes to the egg song. One talks to me often when I'm out there - she's pretty friendly. The other has a screechy cluck - not as friendly, but will allow me to pick her up now and then. I would say the EEs that I have are definitely the "loudest" of my mixed crew of 6.

And I have an EE who never sings an egg song! Just shows they're all individuals.

Definitely! All of my birds are unique and have their own quirks.
