My first flock of chickens really pissed my neighbors off, because they were too loud. I had four chickens: a polish, americauna, red-sex link, and a barred rock. <br /><br />I did a little research, and found out that some breeds differ in how noisy they are. That's why I chose to swap out my flock for Delaware chickens, which lay profusely, are a dual purpose bird, docile, and are quieter than other breeds. I do sell hatching eggs through my website if anyone is interested. <br /><br />Anyway, just another thought on having chickens in the city--if you have neighbors that will be upset by noise, it is a good idea to try to find a breed that is known to be quieter.Vegetable Garden Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641599988061148892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-43641337355430486292011-01-08T19:23:44.938-06:002011-01-08T19:23:44.938-06:00Those are some interesting coops!

Here, in Raleigh, there is an annual Tour de'coop where all of the urban hen-keepers show off their coops and their systems for keeping their fowl friends happy all year. There are some REALLY cute coops in Raleigh! It's called the Henside the Beltline Tour De'Coop. I think it's usually held in July? Not sure about it, but I'm sure you could look it up to see some cute ideas!Emily Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451102661519375820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-49951277480134356162011-01-08T09:21:20.237-06:002011-01-08T09:21:20.237-06:00I'm glad you mentioned that, Carla.

There was one coop we were supposed to visit, but the man had a last-minute work obligation, and he told me that the coop he had before his current one was made out of a dresser. His current coop is a converted plastic tool shed.Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-50554739597023103002011-01-08T08:57:52.542-06:002011-01-08T08:57:52.542-06:00one of my blogspot gals that i fallow, went and vi...one of my blogspot gals that i fallow, went and visited some creative back yard ideas, and she found one that used a dresser and converted it to a hut for about 4 chickens, it was not only functional but very creative and attractive, and best of all affordable.
