How noisy are the darling birds? Having suffered for years with a neighboring rooster's dawn screaching and his incessantly clucking hens, I'm no fan of backyard chicken coops. Nor am I fan of the rats and the other critters the chickens and their feed attract.

Hens make very little noise. Just a little clucking. Much less noise than a dog. Someone's got to be pretty high strung to find that annoying. Never seen any rats or other critters near my coop.
