Doesn't sound like the start of a crow to me - couldn't tell which one it was, the one standing up? Looks like a girl too!

thank goodness,im newish to chickens so wondered what it was as never heard it before,and all my other chickens were staring at her for ages all stood up heads right up etc,xx

I think she is sneezing

so so so happy haha,sneezing for that long tho???never heard them so i dont knowm,i freaked at first thought she cudnt breathe or somthing,so fed them some treats to seee what shed do n she just ate then carried on,xx

[scarlettohara]

Agree with Tasha, she doesn't look ill though

[LolaLayla]

My Lola does this but it is a longer sound. Usually it's if she is bothered by something, she stands very tall and stretches her neck when she does it. It is very loud..yesterday she started and I had to take some bread out to distract her as I didn't want her to bother the neighbours.

thank goodnes haha,no shes not poorly is fine eating pooing sleeping,just didnt know what is was,my other girls make the normal chicken noise haha,someone said it could be her egg song??X

[surfer_chicken]

Oh no, you'll know the egg song when you hear it

[tasha and kev]

one of my other layers makes a right racket when shes laying and did a few days before she laid,when mrs baggins started making this wierd noise it was really loud and constant,thats why i panicked and thought crowing haha,xx

[surfer_chicken]

I found a youtube video of the egg song for you. Is that what your layer does?

 

I like it, but it can be quite loud

[tasha and kev]

[jennym]

Haha, that's perfect. My Belle does that, the other two don't bother.

[tasha and kev]

im tempted to film belle well the noise she wont let you in when shes laying,my other half dared to pop his head just his head around the door and wow,she had a right go,xx

I know, luckily I have lazy hens who don't bother laying until nearly midday or I'd worry about the neighbours as mine are fairly loud

[tasha and kev]

mrs baggins is making that noise again today not as loud tho,im a little worried as a male wyandotte i have hes about 16weeks im not sure if hes trying to crow or is hes sneezing,he keeps like reering his head back then coming forward and opening his mouth ,the first time we heard a little noise like maybe he was trying to crow,.but ive just noticed one of my others sneezing,.not loads just a few times and one of my others was sneezing for a few minutes yesterday.panicking,now,theyre not sneezing loads just the once each excpet baggins,theyre all well running around eating and drinking,
