I am new to chickens and while I love them, they make some bizarre noises. I thought chickens clucked or bocked or chooked, but the sounds my girls are making are really weird. There have been goose grunts, purrs, chatter and squacks
One is puzzling me. Maryanne, a 20 week GLW, is on the bottom of the pecking order and she makes a sound like a cat. Kerrreeeeeeee. She starts out low and builds to a screech. This is a recent development and as far as I can tell it's the only sound she makes. She makes it when she greets me. She makes it when she checks everyone is in the coop. She does it when she gets kicked out of the dirt bath. She does it when she's offered treats. The only thing that changes is the intensity of her cry.
Just curious if any one else has a chicken that does this or any other odd noises?
