Quite chickens--- Ideal breeds for areas with noise ordinance ?

Hello,

I would like to ask what are the best breeds for being quite ?

two of my hens were fighting for the same nesting box this morning - leghorn vs australorp -- even when there are 2 nesting boxes for 5 hens..

I was considering bantams but i heard they are pretty loud?

any good breed that will not make a lot of noise ?

normal chicken sounds would be fine.. but when i can hear it 15-20 ft inside the house through closed doors/windows .. it can be a problem..

i do want to keep the current flock.. just want to know what i can for my next flock

thanks

 

i hope they will become more quite as they got older

since the oldest hen in the flock makes little noise-- it will go in and out.. lay her egg.. and free ranging all day

i'll try to take a picture of her later -- since she might be of the quiet breed ?

the other 4.. are too noisy.. especially the leghorn

my leghorn likes to hold up the nesting box for hours!!

 

i don't know a lot about breed..

but this is the quietest hen in my flock.. she will go in and out the nesting box to lay her egg each day then go out to free range . no egg song what so ever either..

the oldest in my flock as well-- so i was hoping maybe the other 4 will also become more quite when they got to her current age ?





the others.. like to make noises even when there's no egg..
