Yeah, they're noisy and I'm not allowed to have roosters.

They want me to let them out to roam in the garage. I have 4 birds out there where the coop is being built, and I let them out some days, but they get too much poop on the floor and have to be confined if Lamont is cutting plywood. He doesn't want to drop a board on a chicken's head.
It was funny today - Lamont had been out in the garage for an hour when I went out to see how things were going. He said they had been quiet the whole time, but as soon as I came out, every time I said something a cockerel would crow.
