Hi all. I need advice, and quick! My hens are becoming intolerable. Each morning they are making obnoxious sounds, so loudly that they wake my household up (and I fear my neighbors too) multiple times each morning and sometimes in the afternoon. It's getting to be way out of hand. Most likely it's connected with egg laying, but sometimes it's at random times. They sounds like their crowing, screaming, yelling, bawking, squawking, you name an obnoxious sound...they do it and LOUDLY. If it was just loud clucks I could handle that, but it's not. They sound as if they are about to die, screaming for their lives.
I have one Rhode Island Red, one Silver Laced Wyandotte, and one Buff Brahma. All three are the problem. They're just over a year old and didn't start this noisy madness until about a month ago.
Any suggestions?
I love these hens and really want to keep them, but I can't tolerate this noise any longer.
