coco Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I usually say hello to the chooks every time I go outside and give them a dandelion leaf or bit of fresh grass. Last night the girls had gone to bed but my black silkie cross came out to see if I had anything for her, I ignored her as I had been in the greenhouse [which is by chickens] and went into the house. She made such a racket I thought that the chooks were being attacked by something and ran back out to them at which point I got an indignant cluck and she went back to bed. There was nothing to be seen. I think I must have an attention seeking chicken. Has anybody else experienced similar behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yes, I have a Mrs. Pepperpot who regularly creates a racket (like an egg announcement) when she sees me in the kitchen. Everytime I go out there to check, there isn't anything untowards, and no egg has been laid, so I can only guess that she's attention seeking! This might possilby have been my fault as I have given her treats to distract her as I was worried that the neighbours would complain...

lozboz Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 my girls always squak at me when i arrive home in my car or even open the back door, they always come running thinking i have treats, which i do usually have, you would think i never feed them the with the way they shout at me, ha ha. They soon calm down though if the realise i have nothing for them and carry on on their merry way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmat Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have one that does this! Doris the gingernut goes mental every time she see's our back door open. She creates such a fuss for at least 15 minutes just to let us know she'd quite like some attention. I often have to go down and throw her a few grains to keep her quiet as I worry the neighbours will take against her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
