Question??

[Mandied]

I have heard about this egg song but don't know what it is? If it's loud is there a breed that won't get real load?

There’s debate about whether it’s an egg song or an escort call. Regardless, not all girls will sing and sometimes they all get going at once. It can be loud, but no more bothersome than a dog that barks once in a while and it doesn’t last too long. There’s no way to tell in advance whether or not a hen will sing.

Oh okay, I was wondering about this. I have been wondering about it for awhile when I first heard about it. I wasn't sure of it would be so load it could annoy neighbors.

As long as it’s legal to have them it should be fine. Woo the neighbors with fresh eggs!

There is one neighbor I plan on bribing the other I don't care about he's already made us mad mlby partying in our yard in the middle of the night.

The egg-laying song I'm used to now, it only lasts 1-2 minutes, some breeds might be louder than others but I don't think it varies too much. What varies in my experience is the non-egg-laying related noise I call 'boredom singing', some hens are noisier than others when just strolling along going about their day, but I don't think I've had any that are loud enough to bother the neighbors.

Oh ok, I was hoping that wasn't a dumb question.

When one hen does the egg song they all join in most of the time. It's a little louder than a rooster crowing.

Some chickens are simply louder, more prone to singing or making noise in general. Others are nearly silent. Most of mine sing an egg song to some degree, but not all do. Not really a breed thing, I think, every bird has their individual behaviors/quirks.
