they do the goose honk rarely, but at least its noise i guess

haha, so i've actually tried playing youtube clips a few times in the past. they just pop up and look around. I got them from some friends up the road, they have around 10 of them and i hear them going off alot. (probably the mating season time like you said). so i'm ready for the noise! Our...

I have 1 female and 2 male Indians, just under 1 year old. One male will fan out sometimes. None of them ever make any noise. Every once in awhile when I'm feeding them they will honk like a goose. But I'm yet to have them scream with the classic sound. What's the deal?? I want some sirens...

Thank you for the reply. This is my first year with chickens/guinea/rabbits etc... so im still learning as I go. That is what we thought as well, but wanted veteran chickeneers to advise also. thanks!

Good luck to you!

They are mixed in with chickens and so far are just fine. the boys are lavenders and the female is a royal purple. They are about 22 weeks old. Not sure if the boys will fight like roosters and i"ll need to get rid of one or not? I really want them to do some tick work this summer. thanks

i have a 60w bulb in our coop just for light to lengthen the day (its on from around 1630-2100). if it gives them a little extra heat then great, but its already been in the single digits and 2 days of negative temps coming up. I wont be changing the routine or giving them extra heat, i just...

Perfect thank you for the replies!! Brian
