Raina Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi all, One of my hen's (Then quietest one,Orakiah) doesn't make the normal Bok Boking chicken noise, she chirps/cheeps. Anyone know if this is normal for a hen that's a year old? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I don't know but mine is 40 weeks and still cheeps so not far off. Is she laying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 My two silkie crosses don't bok bok. they sort of squeak in various pitches. they are both about 10 months and laying when they feel like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 If she does it all the time I wouldnt worry If its only just started and she was bokking before it could be a sign that she is unwell or cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 She's done it since the day i got her (about 14 weeks old) i thought she would grow out of it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 My cream legbar, who is 7 months, cheeps like a demented budgerigar - especially when she can't have her own way. I don't know if she'll ever sound like a normal chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I have a "cheeper" too, she must be around 40 weeks old, no sign of her laying and she merrily cheeps, and cheeps in a stroppy way when she can't get her own way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 one of my latest ex bats was an early release so I guess may have been 1 year but less than the normal 18months, she cheaped, was funny/odd . she has stopped. Anoither older ex bat STARTED and she WAS poorly. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
