Where should I put my coop?

[PoofBallSilkie]

I was thinking about putting my coop and run here. Anyone have any thoughts? I was wanting something rather close to the house. But not close to the street or other people’s houses.

Someone’s gonna hear them!

I’m only going to be getting females. I live on the corner of the street so I’m near to only one other house.

Lol! You should hear my girls when they are fighting over a nest box or when one lays an egg! Mine are all “quiet” breeds and there are times when they sure are not quiet!

If your not allowed to have them, DON'T. Someone will find out, then you'll be posting for help trying to figure out how to keep them.

I would advise against getting chickens if your HOA doesn't allow them. As others have mentioned, hens can be incredibly loud. I've had them in the city and now I have them in the country.

I can easily hear them from several hundred feet away if they're making a racket-which they do every single day.

People aren't exaggerating about the noise. A hen laying an egg can easily rival the barking of a large dog. All the "quiet breeds" included.

My chickens make way more noise than my dogs! LOL!

Sometimes mine are completely silent for hours and you do not know they are there but they are going to make noise. The only time I can guarantee mine to be completely silent is when the sun goes down. When they first start laying eggs they make such a racket! I think the whole process of the egg moving through their bodies scares them or something, because the first year they are so noisy!

Your trying to talk yourself into bucking the system. Hens lay at different times. They WILL be vocal, one at a time.
