hahaha! wow you chickens sound like characters so they just start screaming when they don't get their food? spoilt little monkeys
Hmmm, interesting. My Orpy's both scream before they lay their eggs! Maybe it's the breed, ha ha. They will pace back and forth in front of the nest boxes, getting louder and louder until they realise they might like to take a seat and get comfy. The louder they scream before hand the faster the egg seems to come - it's like they're saying "It's URGENT! I've got to go NOW!"" So much fun! Krista
My Buff Orp starts shrieking right around breakfast and dinner time. She won't shut up until food is delivered! She's actually shrieking right now because it's around dinner time.
Seems the Orps are very vocal! They are so sweet though, so that more than makes up for it. Krista
