bouldercroft Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Just curious if this is normal... Josie my barred rock bantam (6-7 months old) has yet to make any noises that sound anything like a chicken. She seems to be perfecting the art of sounding like a dial-up modem. She whistles and peeps in a very high pitch tone. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 If she's otherwise acting normally, I'd say yes. See what others think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little pekin sounds just like Sweep off Sooty & Sweep yes - sweep - a better description! so much more cuter than a modem she's healthy and happy (?) in every way - just curious about the silly noises an egg would be nice but she's way too posh to push!

Random_Girl66 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 My light sussex quacks and as she's young and hasn't got a full tail yet she does look like a white duck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 How funny I think that would drive me crazy. However, my pekin does caw rather than cluck but she is named Crow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 mine sing - I cant describe it but when I'm doing their grub in the morning and they are still in the Eglu they are making a lovely singy sort of noise. almost a croon - frank sinatras of the chuck world - albeit wrong sex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyfeet Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I've got one that sounds a bit like that - a friend even asked which one sounds like a trim phone the other day. She changes tone too - which makes her sound like a fax machine. Dawn x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickanne Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 mine sing - I cant describe it but when I'm doing their grub in the morning and they are still in the Eglu they are making a lovely singy sort of noise. almost a croon - frank sinatras of the chuck world - albeit wrong sex Whilst visiting the local farmshop with my brother recently we strolled over to look at the large free range flock they keep. The nearest hens came running, probably thinking food would appear. Then, of course, the other hens noticed the movement and started to run. Over 1000 chickens running up the hill! The noise was exactly as you describe! A sort of beautiful but spooky crooning noise. Wish my laydees crooned, you are very lucky, Alis girls.

daxigirl Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Sunday R used to honk like a goose. Peebles has this loud HAHAHA she insists on doing whilst wandering round the garden, she sounds like a posh, jolly hockey sticks type laugh. I did notice that they made funny purring noises in the dust bath too, quite unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
