scarlettohara Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Agree with Tasha, she doesn't look ill though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasha and kev Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
