gavclojak Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 My girls are being so productive at the moment but for some reason they don't seem to announce the fact that they have been oh so clever and laid an egg! They used to announce daily in the summer but have been virtually silent for weeks (not that I complaining you understand girls ) ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 They are funny aren't they. In the Summer Queenie used to make a strangled goose noise nearly all day long, and if Gemma laid an egg she would shout (in chicken obviously) " I laid an egg !! I laid an egg !!" and then Suzie would announce to all of Hampshire "Gemma laid an egg !! Gemma laid an egg !!" for goodness knows how long. Fortunately I haven't heard the shouting for ages, but then that might be because I'm lucky to get any eggs at all at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Wow if my girls were that noisy I think it would tip me over the edge! I live in a terraced house with neighbours both sides and very close...I would worry they would complain....my 5 girls are laying 3/4 eggs daily between them so, bless them, they are very productive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Funny you should say that, mine have been virtually silent for weeks now. They always used to announce eggs raucously so I'm delighted . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It does seem to be a very random thing. Sometimes we get the egg fanfare and sometimes we don't, but there seems to be no rhyme nor reason for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Similarly, we used to get a lot of shouting in the spring/summer, and none now! Now I think about it, it may be the 2 offenders are currently moulting, whereas the younger two are still laying yet I've never heard them crow! Oh well, we have to be thankful for small mercies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
