Ha! We named our neighbor's cat Bam-ba-lam. Then, a young neighbor of hers bought a black truck and named it Bam-ba-lam. One day, she sheepishly asked what was up with the Bam-ba-lam names and we played the RamJam cover. The first recording, however, was done acapella by James "Iron Head" Baker and a group from the Central State Farm (prison), Sugar Land, Texas in 1933. There are field recordings in the Library of Congress. Lead Belly recorded it in 1939.

It really depends on the bird in the end. I had a small flock of banties I added to my layer flock and my sister accidentally trained the rooster to crow on command, but he also did it when he saw her because he was happy to see her. Other than him, those banties were super quiet. Also, lol, the guinea is soooo loud! But they saved the flock for me several times when predators and neighbor dogs came to visit

I've had Buff Orpingtons once... and fell in love with them! Even the roosters are gentle! Your "dark shade" comment reminds me of something... I built a chicken tractor out of 2x2's with 2x4's as a base against the ground. Just a basic 8'x8', with 18" high walls, then topped with "trusses" to make a ridge 6' high. One roost across from side to side, and another roost running overhead under the peak gives plenty of stability to the coop. (A diagonal support from one end up to the overhead roost helps, too.) Put a door on one end. I covered the whole thing with wire. Chicken wire on the ends and sides, and 2"x4" utility fencing over the roof, for strength. Find a DARK tarp to cover over the roof and down both sides to the ground. Very rainy or winter weather will require plastic over the ends, but don't make it too tight against the wind. Be sure to leave plenty of air flow... or your chickens may get pneumonia! Now the fun part: attach a strong gauge wire to two corners, looped long enough to pull the structure over the grass. Thread it through a section of old garden hose, to make it easy on the hands. A nail placed just right to hang the wire on, keeps it up out of the way. This chicken tractor is very lightweight and easy to move daily. And the eggs from such "pastured hens" (ala Joel Salatin) are out of this world! The chickens daily run to gobble down huge amounts of fresh green grass every time they're moved... especially if you move them about daybreak. And this makes the egg yolks darker than usual.

This topic was exactly what I needed wanting a couple chickens but living in a rural area not wanting the complaints. In fact, when I told my neighbors I was thinking of getting some chickens they gave me that OMG look. I live in a temp Zone 9 Southern California and it sounds like you are in Florida so I'm going to take your advice and to with three black australorps. Hopefully I can find someone somewhat nearby to purchase them from but wanted to thank you for you advice.

@@marah7275 , each bird will give up to 5 eggs a week. I've found that only happens under ideal circumstances. Regular egg-chickens make 4 to 5 eggs normally. Silkies and those with better feathers produce less eggs to concentrate on feather production. My city chickens lay almost nothing due to environmental stress. With 3 city chickens, I get about 3-5 eggs total and have much more broody time.

I just have a few things i do different, my hens are free range, however i recommend hardware cloth as opposed to any other fencing. A bit pricier, but my hens are worth it. Also, if your going to keep your chickens in a coop, should be bigger and i personally would got to at least 4 ft as some chickens do like to fly or jump. Otherwise, you did a really sweet and wonderful thing for that lady and bless you so much for that. What a kind thing to do! The fact that you gently told her her coop was a hot mess was awesome!

Love the video. I must have gotten the two rotten Buffs because they were the most obnoxious chickens I ever had. Had to give them away. My two Barred Rocks are great. Raising an Isa Brown, a Delaware and a Gold Sexlink so I’m curious how they’ll do noise wise

My Easter Egger rooster is the first Roo I’ve had I can actually have near my House and not on the other end of my acreage. There is such thing as a less noisy rooster but they all crow at some point. His hens are pretty quiet too. My Silkie rooster is fairly loud lol I think it also depends on the bird not just the breed I agree with Becky on how racist chickens can be lol. They all fee safer together but tend to buddy up more with their own breed.
