Thanks so much for the replies,
I understand chickens do make noise, it is just that I would prefer a less noisier breed if possible ; )
I have read up a little on a few different breeds if any one has any input on any of these breeds I would love to hear it, good or bad.
ok this is what I found so far
Orpingtons........calm, docile, friendly but loud some say ?
Black Astralorp- sounds perfect, am I correct that they also come in white and blue? what exactly is a blue?
Plymouth Rock..........docile, friendly, easily handled...this all sounds great also but are they overly loud? it didnt say ??
Sussex............calm, gentle, active,curious, friendly, easily handled.
Now, I don't know how available any of these breeds are and I know with the Orpingtons they say they can be picked on because they are so docile......can they be mixed with other docile breeds and do o.k?
thanks so much for any help
