Millet 4,497 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 What i have found it's pot luck if you get some quiet one's..some of the hen's i have had make more noise than a cockerel and they have quickly been stuck on a farm..just get a few more and bin the noisy one's or they will drive you up the wall well they do to me.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
