Do you have any tip to keep the chicken coop clean? They just poop everywhere they go, don't they? I wouldn't mind they poop in the garden, it's natural fertilizer for the plants.  It would be nice to be able to train them not to poop inside the coop.
As for noisy, I thought they'd make more noises when they lay eggs lol. I am not positive on that one but that's what my dad told me. His family used to keep 1 hen to lay eggs when he was little. He was saying the hen was pretty much bragging about the new egg every time. Then his grandmother would give some food to the hen after getting the egg. It was their "reward" system.
