Jamesw Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 one saturday I was having breakfast when this loud squarking noise boomed out I thought the neighbers dog might of broken but it hadn`t. Onion and sage were sitting in the garden and onion was making the loud squarking noise and we gave her a grape and she stopped ate it and started again then she stopped then started. What do you think caused it. onion sage Jamesw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Was there anything unusual in the garden (cat etc)? Or was she thinking about laying an egg? Sorry. Can't think of anything else to explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesw Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 that might have been it she laid an egg about half an hour later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemychooks Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 My chickens were squarking loudy today because they wanted to lay an egg and there was already a chicken in the next box and even though we have 3 next boxes they don#t seem to go in at the same time. They also announce to the world that they have laid an egg, it's quite funny really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 lol-mine are called Sage & Onion too...great minds think alike...! Sage my 'Miss Peppepot' made that particular squaking noise when i first got them and she spied nextdoors cat sitting on garage roof so i guess its an alarm call.They're fine now though with their cat.

janette1954 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I really thought we had an attack yesterday morning,I ran up the garden hoe in hand to hit the attacker,not a soul in sight,then again this morning I thought we had a cockerel crowing,but it ws just Betty letting all the neighbours know that she had laid her egg at 7.00 on sunday morning,she was also doing something strange, when she walked out in to the run she was picking up bits of twig and straw and throwing them over her back,any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
