Minky Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Enid has just recently started making that very noise (bbbrrrrRRRRRUP!) when I go in the garden. Maude, on the other hand, has started making a noise just like a seagull when she lays whcih has resulted in a run of about 6 double yolkers in a row from her!!

WitchHazel Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I just love it when my hens purr with contentment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Definately a happy chook when they purr - mine do it when they're sunbathing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 When my ex batts first did it I found it quite emotional as I thought it was probably the first time they'd been happy enough to purr in over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 abwsco - you brought a tear to my eye. That is such a sobering, sad thought - but such a happy ending. Going to find a hanky now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
