Crooked Chicken Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Can anyone tell me why they do this? It not good for neighbourhood relationships!!!! I had 4 chooks, then three of them died within a month of eachother due to a viral infection. Judy is left on her own. She always use to be fairly vocal, but now she actually crows. What am I to do? I can hear her in the morning when I'm lying in bed (that's a front bedroom!). The other day, I was coming back from a bike ride and I could hear her from several streets away! It's embarrassing and I'm just waiting for the doorbell to ring with a complaint. H E L P!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Some of them can develop cockerel tendencies - as they age it's a hormonal thing. But it could just be that she's shouting for company. Hens are very much flock creatures and don't do well on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I agree with Snowy - it's a cry of desperation for company! Could you not get her a couple of friends? Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
