I have a very serious problem at this time . Chesepeake Energy has decided it needs to drill some more gas wells on our road and this time they are behind our home. They already have 6 wells up and down our road and now the guy next door has decided to sell his vacant property to them and they are taking hundreds of trees down beside and behind our property ( he wouldn't sell us 5 acres 3 years ago , the property had sentimental value to him, he was holding in to it.) Well the noise is unbelivable---- and the tree chopper is shaking the ground and everything in our home from 6 in the morning to after 7 at night. My 12 week old hens are absolutely freaking out , pecking each other and fighting and will not even come out of the coop they are so afraid. The 2 and the 5 week olds are so afraid that they are piling up on each other in a corner and I have spent the last 3 hours out there just sitting and talking to them to try to calm them but unfortunately I can not do that all day as I have things to do . Will too much noise and /or stress cause them to not lay if this blasted noise continues for a very long time. the last few wells took quite a few months to finish, Do you think that it is posible that the stress could kill them , and is there anything I can do to help them relax and try to cope with all of this? Any suggestions and advice will be very , very much appreciated! There is just about nothing I would not do for my girls I love them so, I worry about them all the time and I will try anything to help them Thanks Trudy
