chelsea Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Ella our big hen is driving me mad. She woke me up at 5.15am this morning with her crowing bear in mind she is IN the eglu with the door SHUT covered in dark tarpaulin (to keep out the light). I was the front bedroom and she is in the back garden and I could still hear her! I really fear the neighbours will complain and im getting very paranoid of the crowing.....so much so that when she isnt crowing I can still hear the crowing in my head I got out of bed several times after she woke me thinking she was constantly crowing but she wasnt.....so I was hearing things Any suggestions? maybe I'll have to remove her and put her in the garage?

bronze Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Are they definitely her eggs? You sure shes a chicken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I had a hen that was similar although she only crowed after she had laid an egg. I think you are doing everything possible to keep the noise down. My neighbours always liked to hear her and never complained. Maybe you could treat yourself to some earmuffs It seems a shame to spoil her fun as she is obviously having such a good time.
