Neighbors complain...

I would say my EE is the quitest out of our group...

Thanks everyone for your advice - I have been wanting to get started but don't want to get the neighbors feathers ruffled! We are zoned for livestock, but even so, it pays to get along ...

Well, it sounds like I'm going to have colored eggs! I was hoping that would be the case, I've heard that EE's are very sweet. As far as bringing the neighbors into the fold (or coop!), I don't think they are the type. I will of course offer them eggs just to be nice

All of my hens are pretty quiet. I have EEs, Dominiques, Cuckoo Marans and Welsummers. My quietest AND friendliest are my Light Brahmas. I wouldn't trade them for the world! On the downside, it took them a long time to start laying, they were around 7 months before they started laying, when the rest of my hens were laying around 5 months.
