Charlottechicken Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Anyone else got a chicken who sings along to herself when she is on the nestbox, lovely little chirring sounds My Cheeky does this nearly all the time, so I am sure there is a logical reason, is she letting the boss chicken know where she is maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 we dont have singing....we have "who can chirp the loudest" competitions quite often and also a lot of arguing before bedtime ("im sitting there - no you sit there"). they are funny things eh!? constant supply of amusement and entertainment. people who dont have chickens really dont know what they are missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 My two seem to have a range of different noises, I love the sort of whining clucking they do when they are ready to go to bed.... Gwen also does a lot of annoyed "stop bothering me, you stupid human" clucks if I try to stroke her - she's not joined the friendly chicken category yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I know exactly what you mean charlotte - our chickens do 'little chirring sounds' too - they're my favourite of their great vocabulary! They do them when they're very happy (just let out to peck grass, or in a dustbath) and sometimes Maisy does them when she's laying an egg too. But I don't think its associated with being boss - I think its a pleasure sound. You must have a very happy chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
