We replaced our flock less than a year ago with black australorps in the hope they would be more quiet than our Wyandottes were, but after 6 years of keeping backyard chickens, we are giving it up.
The hens were pretty loud this morning starting before 6am - and the neighbors are over it.
I live on a small city lot, and can no longer in good conscience keep them here.
If you live on a larger lot, and would like the full setup, let me know.
I'm fine to see just the birds go, but preference goes to someone looking for a complete small setup.
