staceychristie Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Does anyone else have purring hens? They've just started sitting under the bush, and I think they feel left out as all the other wild birds are singing. I thought they were snoring! Bless 'Em Stacey PS They don't have any rattles or breathing problems - I was just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
