Hey I'm brand new to keeping chickens and just got me 4 last night. 2 morning stars I believe they are called 1 barred rock and 1 RIR, all are hens. The morning stars and barred rock are as calm as can be but the RIR is so loud. When the lady I bought them from caught her she was squawking and freaking out, I thought because she was scared. Bought them home, the other 3 all I had to do was reach in and pick them up no problems no fuss. But this RIR gave me about an hours worth of trouble, along with my wife laughing at me from the window. I finally got her in the coop. Now everytime I get near the other are very calm but that RIR bocks so loud and as soon as I walk away she shuts up. This normally wouldn't be a problem but this wonderful city I live in has a law against keeping chickens. Any helpwould be appreciated.
