    What is my hen trying to say?

    Hello, my 8 month old Sablepoot (booted bantam) hen makes loud, scratchy, almost raspy (Not in an ill way) squawking noise, when she sees anyone in the garden, or even just at random times 😂 She is at the top of the pecking order ( apart from me...I hope😂 ) and none of the others come close to...

    Chick tidbitting 6 weeks

    I swear I've just heard my 6 week old chick tidbitting. When I raised my first bunch in the brooder I never saw this behaviour until my Rooster was around 20+ weeks. This chick has been raised under a broody hen and I swear I just heard a cute little mimic of the sound mum makes when she finds...

    Anyone speak (Guinea) fowl language?

    The keet is constantly communicating with me through chirping - from the moment I say good morning to it, till the time the sun goes down. I have come to recognise some of its keet language and here are a few sounds I think I have managed to translate: 1. The sound it makes most often of all is...

They will not go inside the coop by themselves at night. I know its clean, so possbile bugs, pest, etc. are not an...

    The different noises quail make

    I've been watching my one and a half week old Japanese quail in the brooder and they've been making some interesting noises. I'll try to enumerate each different one: Normal chirping noise. It's low amplitude and repetitive. They chirp more often when there's extra food / water or the lights...

    Peeping sounds when eating?

    Hi all, we had a young-seeming peacock arrive on our doorstep in October. Have no idea where the lonely guy came from but he's taken up residence here now. (We are semi-rural but have no outdoor animals ourselves.) He makes no noise when eating except when I feed him dried worms - then he peeps...

    What is this noise my new hens keep making?

    I have 3 silkies, two of which were introduced a few days ago. The two new ones keep making noises that sound distressed, but I can't figure out what they're distressed about other than moving to a new home :/ Can anyone identify these noises?

    Crooning and Clicking? What do these noises mean?

    We've had our hens for a few months and have gotten pretty used to their noises by now. But there are 2 noises that still have us puzzled. 1. Sometimes our chickens will make a crrrrrrrn noise while staring intently into space. At first we thought it was a predator warning, but when we check...

    Muscovy Hen

    Hi! I have an assorted flock of ducks, one of which is a muscovy. She is my favorite, but she has some weird behaviors that I don't notice in the others. She likes to follow humans around, and will eat out of the hand, unlike her brethren. If I step out of the house, and she sees me from the...

    King quail vocalisations?

    I have 2 male king quail (which the internet tells me are also called chinese painted quail) who live in with my budgerigars in an aviary outside. I haven't had quail before, and I've had them maybe 6 months, something like that (I'm hopeless at time - long enough where they are settled in, not...

    New Chicken Owner Questions

    Hi guys! So I've had four two-year-old chickens for about two weeks now and just have some general questions about their looks/behaviors. All four are red sex-link hens. Okay, so the first thing I've noticed/questions is some missing feathers on only one hen's lower neck/upper breast region...
