Guest Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Bea was sitting in the sun and made a noise a bit like when you blow thru your lips, if it's cold, you know brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr but higher pitched. Does that mean she was happy or something else? Not heard the others doing it although they do make contented noises but never heard them do this particular noise.

Snowy Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Sounds like a happy chicken purr to me! I often hear mine doing that when they are sat on the nest. Is she about to give you an egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yep- Sounds like a "purr" to me, our girls do it if they are having a dustbath or snoozing in the sun. Adorable isn't it? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 think i'll pop her on the grass tomorrow for a little while, so she can free range for a bit, as best she can. Then I'll pop her back in and let the others out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Mine croon like that when they are sunbathing. Same here - wings out, eyes shut and purring. It's lovely to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It's a lovely thought, to know you've made your poor little rescue girl happy, Poet. Who could ask for more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
