I understand this, I love when my girls talk and squawk LOL, but some think other wise or see there might be a problem like the OP . I live in a neighborhood and my neighbors love my girls, but I do understand her fear if she has neighbors who may get mad. and to the new chicken farmer, she may not have known they might be noisy its a toss up, some have quiet birds some have noisy birds, mine are pretty quiet, but when they break forth I love it. of course my girls are special LOL,
I understand why she is concerned about their noise bothering the neighbors.....I also understand she probably didn't know how loud chickens can be.
Backyard chickens can work for some people and the area they live in, while it might not work at all for another's situation.
I've seen posts on here wanting to know about surgery to stop a roo from crowing........did they really think their rooster would end up not crowing when they kept it?
I know the "grow your own food movement" is what has brought about the backyard chicken movement and that's fine, but people just need to remember that chickens are chickens and they may not work for out for everyone to have them in their backyards.
