What do ya know!
I have a privacy fence
am hiding my coop in the backyard
Loud hens will go in the freezer or be sold
and same with roosters
plus already asked closest neighbors and two don't mind and one sorta does but I'll bribe them all with eggs
Do you think because of this that I should get eight and pick the quietest six of the eight and sell the other two I've been debating it...
well, that's what i heard...from another illegal chicken owner. get MORE than what you want...that way, you can pick out the loud ones and give them away (or whatever). i only wanted 2 or 3 hens but now i've decided to get 5 (hubby is KINDA havin' a stroke but he understands the principle involved here)......so that way if any loud ones are about, i can give them away to an aquaintence of mine. Good luck!!! that's great that you have a privacy fence! i'm sure i'll make a few egg runs to my neighbors too!
I"m illegal too. I went to all of my neighbors and bribed them before hand with the promise of eggs. My privacy fence is going up soon too.
I'm getting 15 straight run, will cull the loud and male ones. I plan on keeping 4 or 5 hens. Ha I keep telling my friends that if those baby roosters decide to crow they are going to become cornish cocks LOL
