Our black rock seems to be very noisy constant whether she is running around or indoors it doesnt matter our maran, hybrid and light sussex are very quiet just there purr purr all the time ! and it doesnt matter whether they are laying or not ! a right old miixture but the black rock makes up for it !!

BOTH of my BA's are soooo loud! For whatever reason they will stand in the run and cry and cry and cry, just timed one 22 min. she cryed! Don't know which one or why but it's bugging me, now that my neighbor with the noisy dogs are moving, so may the BA's! Good layer's sweet birds but

Oh and one hit 1 year and went broody for 2 weeks.

Brahma hens. They are so quiet. I have three of them and I don't even know they're in the backyard! They haven't started laying yet... so they may become a little "cluckier" but for now they're perfect quiet ladies.

X2 on the quiet Australorps. I keep 14 of them 20 feet from my bedroom window, and I have to really listen to hear them clucking outside from this side of the open window.
Bright Blessings!

Lol, compared to turkey toms they are all quiet. Luckily I have neighbors that love to hear my guys gobble.

I have EEs and Cornish Xs at the moment. Just gave away a Polish roo. The EEs are not what I would call noisy, but they do get riled up easily and get a bit squawky then and at feed time. I only ever hear the Cornish when it is feed time and I am five minutes late, lol. The Polish was a talker. He was the spokesman for the EE chicks when they were little and he thought they should have dinner.He is a cute little guy. Gave him to my daughter because I intend my EEs to be a breeding flock and already have EE roos.

Edited to reply:Of course Cornish Xs are short-lived, so wouldn't be a consideration for backyard flock, really. These guys are destined for the freezer. Just making an observation about their noise level.
