Are all Light Sussex hens really noisy?

Recommended Posts

I am interested because mine is so out of tune when she bok-boks after egg laying and if anything upsets her which is quite often.

 

Looking ahead in time to when we have to get more hens we would like more Light Sussex because they are dual purpose and lay really good eggs. The noise thing would be an issue though because we live in a sub-urban area.

Gosh yes! Susie is the noisiest out of the lot of mine!

 

When she lays here eggs- she lets the whole world know!

 

I used to hear people describe their hens singing an ‘I laid an Egg’ song- but this is pretty much a deafening roar rather than a song! She goes on until I go out and tell her off for shouting! God knows how long she goes on for during the week when im not there!

 

Perhaps others have a quieter bird?

 

But Susie is one of the tamest and is top bird in my little flock.

My light sussex is the noisiest when announcing an egg - the bluebelle comes a close second, they are the only 2 we can hear squawking when we are inside at the front of the house or half the village away- doesn't bother us though, we think it's funny !

Maisie is just the noisiest ever and gets in a pickle if you disturb her or upset her. This morning she was particularly upset over something, not sure what.... one of her feathers out of place probably!!! :lol: she's a bit precious.

 

She's not a pure breed but a hybrid LS... perhaps that has something to do with the volume???
