Human Raised baby chick's

Oh yes, brooder raised chicks won't get bullied more or less, just so you know for the future. It is about the pecking hierarchy, which has more to do with size, age and personality, and is unrelated to how they are raised in all of my experience.

I have found chickens to be resilient and get used to lots of things. You can use your intuition on where they would be happiest, though, and what would make you happiest weighed in there somewhere.

That is tough, a farm with lots of birds and room, or more personalized care from you. I don't know what I would choose, honestly. Still, I think they will be okay either way.

I know some Austros can be easily spooked, but you should read their individual personalities for whether you think noise will be a big problem for them. If the road is close to where they will be I think there could be a slight risk for the pollution stressing their respiratory systems, but I don't think that is a deal breaker, either.

Also, you might have to worry about them getting in the road if the fence is under 4-5 feet. If they get bored they may fly right over (you'll have to read the personality again). You can play around with clipping a tiny bit of wing feathers to keep them in if need be.

Good luck with your decision. Let me know if you think of anything else.

No, I installed a several foot wooden fence and there is tall trees and thick bushes and fencing surrounding the area. they don't seem to dwell on the loud sounds too long. They just stop for a second then go back to grazing. But I feel if they grow up with it eventually they will be ok. I really don't want to part with them since I had them since they were a day old.

I think they'll be fine. I don't live in a city, but I think if loud noises could harm chickens there wouldn't be as much urban poultry as there is. Even the rooster crowing can be deafening if you are close

One last thing I thought of, if something happens and one of them passes away you'll want to get another chicken for them. Chickens can get depressed living as a single.

Have fun with your birds!
