Treekeeper Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 A frog scream????? My chooks were out and Tango ran out from under a bush with a young frog held by the leg and it was making a high pitched keening noise . Needless to say I took it off her and put it in a safe place. Dumbstruck though I have never heard anything like it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcatz Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 yeah, it's horrible isn't it! One of mine was standing on a frog the other day. I thought there was a rat or mouse in the garden, moved the confused looking chicken and a frog jumped away. I was surprised the first time I heard it!

chicken bark Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I heard one a long time ago and had forgotten about it until you have reminded me of it. Not a sound I want to hear again - neither do I want to hear a rabbit screaming either but that is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldstar Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes it is the most horrible noise. My cat caught one a couple of years ago and was shocked they could make such a noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little brown hen Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 My cat had a frog by the run door, and the chickens were watching with great interest hoping it would visit them. The frog was screaming, so I put it in the pond, and cat and chickens shrugged and wandered off. Its an amazing noise though isn't it!

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 My garden is riddled with frogs and I've heard it a few times. Their scream isn't nice is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaloo Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My OH stepped on a frog in our garden and it screamed. It had been living there for over a week, how the girls didn't find it or maybe they did and couldn't swallow it!! My OH was upset and convinced he'd killed it! Bless him - he was raised in a town and had never been around 'wildlife', so had no idea frogs could make such a noise. I gave froggy a check over and nothing was broken and it seemed in good shape...but very unimpressed...and within the hour, moved out!

abwsco Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yes and it's horrible but what was worse was one putting it's front legs over it's eyes when the chickens had got it Luckily DH rescued it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yep. Was wondering why there was screeching coming from my kitchen. Ollie (at this time very young ginger persian kitten) had caught a frog and was batting it about.. Didn't know what to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
