The Quietest Chicken Breeds For Every Purpose

[@onceuponatinyfarm]

I 100% agree about the Orpingtons they’re like having a golden retriever version of a chicken they’re so chill and quiet!

[@beebop9808]

Those birds are a mess. I avoid that run sometimes cuz I get mobbed going in there. Doesn't take long to have a bird on each shoulder and make the mistake of sitting down with them for a minute will fetch at least 4 or 5 of them all over me.

I live in southern Oklahoma and next spring I plan on getting eight hens a mix of black Australorp and black Jersey Giant I'm planning on getting a black Australorp rooster.

[@patriciajohnsonson8639]

I love my Buff Orpingtons. I also love my Barred Rocks. I have two black Australorps, but they are skittish and flighty. They are fine in with the other girls and have learned to tolerate me. But my buffs have the the most outgoing personalities and are definitely the three top dogs in the coop. The Barreds are sweet. They are calmer and seem very lovable.

[@BeeWildHomestead]

My lavender orpingtons barely make a sound, even after laying an egg, they rarely do the egg song. I have 10 min long videos I've shown on my fb page to people recording how silent they are, I mean you can hear a pin drop. My buffs are definitely quiet but they make sounds here and there but it's not overtly loud. My Australorps are more vocal and do the eggsong but they don't just cackle and make noises all day for no reason. If they make a sound I usually get up and go look because it's either an alert to nearby danger, someone passed through my yard they don't recognize, my dog is chasing them, or they just laid an egg. So far, I'm loving all 3, I live on a cul-de-sac in a subdivision, so I definitely need quieter breeds and my neighbors thank me for it. They actually didn't even know for 7 months I had chickens. I eventually told them myself. Thats how quiet my girls are, freaking adore them ❤

Do you have a quiet rooster too?

[@BeeWildHomestead]

@@Detroit-gx5nd I dont have rooster at all

[@pumpjackpiddlewick]

Super super helpful. Thank you! I keep wavering on what type of chickens I would like. You have given me some great insight.

[@thehappychickencoop6460]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xaviergonzales4146]

I have three Rhode Island’s Reds and they are by far the loudest and most aggressive of all my chickens, my Austolorp and Bard Rocks are much more friendly and quiet.

[@unnamed2737]

I have 5 hens and 3 nest boxes and they still fight over them. Apparently my chickens like to lay in total privacy with no other hens in the coop, so a line forms early in the morning with them screaming because they want their turn.

[@thehappychickencoop6460]

😂😅 sounds about right

[@papajeff5486]

Excellent content. Thank you for sharing.

[@mariahmoosymoose470]

This makes me excited cause I’m wanting orpingtons. My grandparents had mainly orpingtons and while all were extremely friendly they were also quiet.

[@MimsysGarden]

Out of the 23 breeds I’ve owned, the German Bielefelder is the absolute quietest, most friendly I’ve ever owned. Even as hatchlings in brooder they’re very very quiet. I must’ve had bad genetics in all of my standard Orpingtons (all colors) & RIR , they were chatty. Except my English Orpingtons - they are very true to your info.

[@MrOldnslofly]

I haven't had nearly the experience of breeds that you have. Bielefelder breed is the only breed I will own from here on. Completely concur with your comments.

[@MimsysGarden]

@@MrOldnslofly they are special birds for sure!

[@microwaveoven9170]

I've had bielefelders and they're some of the most chill chickens I've had, so chill that our bielefelder rooster wouldn't even try to challenge our much smaller spangled Hamburg rooster and our neighbor loved our bielefelder rooster too and would let him and his ladies forage in her garden and bushes

[@MimsysGarden]

@@microwaveoven9170 they are so quiet too that’s my favorite thing 💚

[@strictlyconservative8777]

I love your videos. You are my go to for chicken knowledge and advice!

[@bmiller1958]

Love the educational content!!!❤

[@thehappychickencoop6460]

Thank you!

[@Ronin969]

dude RIR are not quiet. They were the first ones I had to cycle out due to noise. not just 1st but 2nd place as well.

[@rinkevichjm]

In fact the quiets Black Australorp is a better egg layer

[@kimlucero4630]

I agree with you 💯!! My RIR literally screams at me every morning as soon as I open my back door. She is way louder than the rooster I had. I will say that she is the best egg layer, but I’m ready to trade her for 5 Easter Eggers. I love my Easter Egger!!

[@charlesfoster8814]

I enjoy watching chicken videos, so I watched your even though their "noise" is music to my ears! If I wanted quite I'd get a cat! I moved to the country in 2019 and have wanted chicken for a long, long time! I have one rooster that crows 20 to 30 times an hour! He is very talkative and my older rooster is always chasing him when he gets tired of hearing him! Great video, good info for those with restrictive space where the noise is an issue! In the afternoon, after a hard day or even after an easy day, I sit on back porch drinking a single beer (that's my limit) listening to and watching my chickens!

[@UsmanFaraz854]

Nice and very informative video, always love to see open range chicken really beautiful and closer to nature and healthy. Stay blessed and keep sharing

[@rhondaperry7935]

My Red Stars are very quiet. My Some of my Buff Orpingtons are loud. They all want to lay in the same place. They make a fuss while waiting in line and after laying an egg. That is normal, but some go on and on.

[@pauldaystar]

Buff and All Orpingtons Are Loudest and Cackle Endlessly, Only Americana Are Quiet Specially when they Hear Hawks

[@bertsmith5569]

Buff Orps definately have some effective throats lol

[@Justlistening2]

Great video! I went for Buffs and left with Golden Comets. What are your thoughts on this hybrid.

[@albandrejaj]

I live in the bronx and I'd like a chicken coup in my vegetable garden. I'm praying this works

[@angelaonthego]

Good luck! Maybe try to network with your neighbors and get them in on it. Ask if they are willing to contribute kitchen scraps and tell them you’ll hook them up once egg laying starts. Govt letting felons out on these streets, giving money and hotels to illegal migrants breaking into the country ; but trust will come after our backyard chickens. Disobey.

[@tomaitoe]

Good luck to you. I wanted chickens in Brooklyn but I didn't have enough space.

I have three silver laces Wyandottes and they are very quiet.

[@HUJUism]

Not sure where you purchased your RIR but mine are silent.

[@lostinspace2780]

I have 3 beautiful B. Australorps hens that just started laying 2 days ago. They have been very quiet for 5 months now UNTIL they laid that 1st egg! They are WAY too loud for my subdivision area. Maybe no one cares that much, but they sound as loud as geese flying over the house. Does anyone have a suggestion on a bantam sized chicken that does not have those kind of vocals? Vocal is fine, but not that loud? I wish someone had the resources to produce a video with sound comparisons between breeds at egg laying time.

[@pamt8430]

They are singing their egg song. All chickens do it. My Australorps, Americauna, and Barred Rock do the same. No getting around it.

[@lisagayhart2482]

My austrolope, Easter egger and blue Andalusian are the quietest . Ancona and Delaware are chatty

[@cactusray3368]

The Brahma could be included for largest quiet breed.

[@lizxu322]

Not my brahma cross rooster...he was loud and crowed over 100 times a day. and he is part silkie too which isn't a loud bird either.

[@breemartin7014]

Isa Brown are hybrid and quiet.

[@christinehopping5040]

My neighbor has Buff Orphingtons and they are NOISY!! It depends.

[@SK-nd7db]

I agree! We had Buff Orpingtons for ten years and everytime we would cut the grass they would cackle so loud as if a monster was attacking them!! Very nerve-wracking!

[@bertsmith5569]

99% of the noise my buff Orpington make is the pre-egg laying moaning (very loud and obnoxious) and post egg laying egg song. So about 1 hour of obnoxious sounds a day. The rest of the day they spend foraging and are virtually silent.

[@Leobenjamin-k2m]

What looks like a big fat Long Island Red Chicken with blue splashed tail and blue splash naped and feathery feet ?.

[@jkarns8431]

Broody??

[@mariahmoosymoose470]

Means a hen likes being a mother over just laying eggs

Would have been nice to actually provide the names on screen.

My Marans aren't very chatty at all and the sounds they make are a little different and quieter. The boys not so much but mine are blowing their horn most of the time calling me. Spoiled brats.

[@nikgaffron]

australorps were bred in the 1920s, decidedly not heritage.
