It sounds more like a "bock bock bock bawcawk! bock bock bock bawcawk!"

I've been noticing my pullets are making the egg song, but obviously still too young to be laying, what does this mean? They're 4 months old.

Why do my chickens stink? I pick them up pretty often, so even my hands get stinky. The worst offender is my Gold laced Wyandotte cockerel, oh my lord he reeks..…. Is it ok to give them a bath? 

My Buff Orps are 3 months old, still cheeping like tiny chicks. When will they start cackling and sounding like hens?

  Lately they have been eating like bottomless little pits! :)

I brought my flock in to the brooder tonight after being outside for almost a half hr. Immediately, one of the chicks became aggressive with the rest of the flock. The feathers on her neck stood up, she stood still and made growling...

    

Burdock looks definitely like a Wyandotte : )

Our flock came from MM about 2 months ago, and had an excellent experience. We had no problems at all with our chick order.

My 2 month old Buff Orpington chicks were free ranging in the backyard today, and were harassed by three magpies, swooping, landing and grabbing away at their treats. Screeching at the chicks. How can I deter the bullies? They're such...
