Egg Song! Glorious Egg Song!

[Babblingbrook]

One of my hens (Ruby) has a really distorted egg song. It sound like a wolf howl, but higher pitched. She has always had that cry, and it is such a laugh in the morning.

We always have an egg song symphony!

When any one of our pullets is ready to lay everyone joins in, even our cockerel (that makes 12). It used to scare me because I thought something was trying to get them, they make such a ruckus. Now, I just smile and listen to song.

When I open the back door in the morning at five am there are singing and I just think that this is the best thing my daughter and I can do together we have so much fun

I thought I might have chicken OCD until I started coming here. Lol! I feel so much better being surrounded by enablers!

Awww. What a sweetie. I love the roosters. We are way out in the middle of nowhere, so I feel fortunate that I can have as many roos as I want. I'm so glad for you (and him) that he went to a place where he can be happy and have some girls to keep him busy!
