Sentiant Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi there I'm probably going to sound like a paranoid chicken keeper here but I have to ask. My bluebell makes an odd cluck, its more of a krawwk (single syllable). Is this normal, should all chickens do the two syllable sound buc-gar that we all know and love?

keyhole kate Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Don't worry all perfectly normal they all make all sorts of different sounds no two are ever the same they will quite often all do the same egg announcement call or alarm call sound one of my pekins does a really annoying screetching noise I am continuously telling her to shush my Buff Orp girl Belle makes a sound none of my current or previous have ever made she sounds like shes laughing she has always done this just unique to her I guess that's chickens for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimnpaula Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 My Sussex make a deep 'bloff' sound, Hen Solo goes 'meep' but can also do 'bloff', and the Skyline & the Legbar make a most peculiar moany sound like a cross between 'moo' and 'meow'! The others go ' bok '. Edit: and the Legbar goes' kraawwk' too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Your bluebell is perfectly normal, chickens nake all sorts of noises. I have an appenzeller that has a really loud cackle, she goes on fir ages, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 This is a funny thread! Do anyone else's hens do the 'dial up modem' sound when they are just pootling around being happy? It's such a cute sound! We also get 'meep' (curious noise), 'bok bok bok' (descending in pitch) when anxious, and 'bok bok bok BOK BOK BOK BWAAAAAAAAAARK' when there is important news to announce!

jimnpaula Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Since my last post in this thread Hen Solo has developed a new repertoire of noises to express her displeasure at the new ex-colony birds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentiant Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hehehe, can we post sound bites on the forum. It would be excellent to have a library of voices (and their assumed meaning real or fake) to here and compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottage Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My Pecky makes the same noise a train horn makes when it is about to enter a tunnel You can hear her coming a mile off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
