In the Old Forum I wrote that we have a noisy Buff Orpington. She is no longer the noisy one. She has been surpassed by our Amber Star who know sounds like a broken crow. She is paricularly noisy when she sees me as she associates me with her beloved corn, she can even peer into the kitchen, see me and start up. I tend to let them out as this quietens them all down, pootling about the garden ect. My daughter is far more draconian, she favours shutting her in the hen house, to "teach her a lesson"!, for a few minutes, not wanting her to have any rewards for " bad behaviour"! Maybe some of my parenting skills have rubbed off
Having a noisy hen would not be a problem, but for the fact that our neighbours, who don't like our hens, are trying to sell their house.
