Quieter Hens?

[busymom791113]

Starting my first small flock after the new year. We are in an HoA and must stay quiet. We are also in the southwest... What would be a good hen that is quiet and heat tolerant? I am also not going to have more than 2 so the hens must be ok to have just one close chicken friend.

Does your HOA prohibit hens?

No hen will be entirely quiet. They are nowhere near as loud as a barking dog though. They sing the egg song, which can be very loud, but for a relatively short time. After they lay, they typically settle down to more of their bok bok noises.
