My (just over a year old) Buff Orpingtons have been quite noisy. Usually, it's not a huge problem and I can go out there to quiet them down... But the thing is I'm really the only one they listen to. I tell everyone who watches them if they absolutely can't handle the noise, just give them a few treats. Mainly we are concerned about the neighbors. About a week or so ago, my neighbour passive-aggressively told us that our chickens could be heard from their house some days. I kind of laughed it off but now I'm a bit worried.
We are leaving for vacation in a few days and we have asked a relative to check on them once or twice a day... But the problem of them being loud remains. They have a swing and a xylophone... But I don't think they have quite figured out how to use those yet since they are a fairly new addition. We don't want our chickens to be taken away, but we won't be home to have them be quiet...
Any ideas on how to make them calmer during our vacation, or maybe just in general? Thank you!
