It would often be the first question out of their mouths.

I have two of them myself and I don't even hear them anymore, but any visitors sure do!! One funny thing is that if you ever go out at night with the flashlight...the roosters will begin to crow..thinking it's morning. If the crowing bothers you though..DON'T buy any goats or sheep!! I have 5 of them and they MAAAAAAA at me ALL day!!!
