How to understand sounds and body language

[chickschool]

Does anyone know of a website that will explain what some of the noises, body language or behaviors indicate?

I have had to rely upon books and lots of personal observation.

Google Understanding Chicken Behavior or Understanding Chicken Language. Lots of site come up.

Then check into books. Website does not have a lot of detail.

This website is my go too for any questions I ever have. I'd love to see them add something like "Ask the expert". Don't get me wrong I LOVE the forum but from time to time I don't get any responses for questions I really need the answer to and to know that I could atleast have one would be awesome. I'd even be willing to pay a small fee.

Here is an interesting radio talk show that is about "chicken language" - you have to listen to it: http://www.livingthecountrylife.com/animals/poultry/understanding-chicken-noises/

Here are a couple good sites that talk about behavior: http://www.chicken-yard.net/general/behavior.html

I just looked into all three sights. My suggestion OP is get a hen an rooster of breed incubates its own eggs and watch them closely like I do with my front porch flock. Let them raise their own offspring.
