Hi - thanks for the add! I've got two welsummer hens, they're a couple years old now. Beautiful markings and definite strong personalities. They have a habit of squawking during the day (just to do it, they're not hungry) and it drives my husband nuts. He would like to wring the necks. Any suggestions on how to keep them quiet?

Welcome to our FUN-omenal community! Hens can be noisy. They have their own egg song and will squawk to communicate. Hopefully, your hubby will learn to enjoy your chickens’ music!

Welcome to BYC. If you ever find out how to keep them quiet, patent it. It will be worth lots of money.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I think it's pretty clear that you can't shut up a noisy chicken.

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! How close to the house is your coop that the hen's squawking disturb's your hubby? Or do you free range them?

Welcome to BYC. I've heard nice things about Welsummers. For us, we figure there's no way the hens are going to be as noisy as the dogs in backyards to every side of us. Good luck.

Good evening and welcome to the BYC flock! I have a welsummer hatching tomorrow, will be my first one in my flock. Not sure about the noise during the day, but if it makes you feel better I have a rooster that crows at 3am!
