Take part in study on PFAS 'forever chemicals' in eggs

[sapphichicks]

Hi something weird happened last night. I was having supper with a friend and she had just left when I heard one of my gals calling loudly from the eglu. They are locked in every night so there was absolutely nothing different happening. I had to go out and speak to her and she stopped and went to sleep. Never happened before. I looked around but there was no cat around or anything else I could see. Usually the cats jump on the wall so I see them escaping along the wall if they have got in. Any ideas on this one please? She has just come out of a two week period of being broody. GNRBoo >ucy GNRGeorge Shrek Moonie

Perhaps she had just laid an egg an was doing her egg announcement . More likely an animal or something scared her.

was it a crow or just a loud chicken noise

Could it have been a hedgehog? When our original hens lived in the eglu and were therefore close to the ground, one of them used to make a low bokking sound some nights when a hedgehog was snaffling around.

Thanks for responses about my ex batts. I just do not know what was up with her. As the top of the pecking order she looks out for the others and she often gets spooked and whenever I look there appears to be nothing there.

Another thing they did yesterday. They make this sort of purring noise and a whistling noise, they stood stock still all 5 of them not moving at all for what seemed ages. Any ideas?

Mine sometimes do this when a red kite flies over a little too low for their liking...

Maybe they heard your friend leave (likely if they left by car) and woke up & started crowing a. for food b. to be let out. My chicken always crows when she hears a car coming back

 

Our chickens often look up at planes too so anything flying over I guess...

 

And they do make some odd sounds
