Hello from NYC

[jaceny]

Just moved to the big city 6 months ago. Hate it here but that is another story. I kept chickens as a child but never really knew much about it. After much though and consideration I have decided to start a small flock and that is what has brought me here. If anyone has any suggestions for a small quiet chicken Im up for suggestions.

Welcome to BYC! No clue about quiet chicken breeds. Sorry!

Welcome from Oregon, which is in the beautiful Pacific Northwest! I was born and raised in NYC and moved here 30 years ago. I love to visit the NYC and do every year or so but always need to get back to Oregon after a week--I need the breathing space!! We're getting our fist chicks the end of April so no real experience. I have read Delawares are fairly quiet though and great birds. Enjoy having chicks in the city!

from UT! Sorry, I'm no help... our chickens are all pretty loud.

Well, how quiet are parrots, budgies, canaries, or any other "normal" house bird? Just don't get a rooster. I'd probably recommend a Silkie.

A big Texas size

from Indiana! My Standard Blue Cochin hens are the quietest birds we have. They're very laid back and sweet.

from NC. My two bantam d'Uccles are pretty quiet, for chickens, but they do sing the egg song when they lay!
