    Review by 'growurfood' in article 'The Egg song, it’s not about the egg; it’s an escort call.'

    Interesting look at the how and why a hen makes her "egg call," seems she's actually calling her rooster back because she's done laying and wants to be escorted back to the rest of the flock. Great post!
