How to keep chickens quiet

[Nolly]

What about something to entertain them. A treat ball maybe. If it doesn't help, you can try it with your next flock.

I hadn't considered it being the space. They are currently in a ~3x6 coop/run and get let out to roam all over the backyard (1 acre lot) a couple times a week. Their previous enclosure was a 4x8 coop/run with a 16x16 pen around it that they had free roam of daily.

They need more space. A 3'x6' coop/run for 2 chickens is too tight. Give them more secured free room to roam 24/7, a larger footprint to scratch on the ground, a large tub of dust bath as their spa. That should keep them occupied. Otherwise, they will just be screaming for attention to be let outside.

I have 5 chickens free ranging .10 acre backyard and they still scream. Try to use spray bottle but I'm not always home. https://ring.com/share/6735807956331339908 video of sound of screaming chicken and mailman wondering what type of craziness is going on... not home, so nothing I could do. So embarrassing! if I had known they were this loud, I would have NEVER gotten them.
