    Sexing silkie by sound?! Is it possible? HELP pls!

    Hi! I need help, please! Trying to sex two young silkies at about 4 months old. I have a video of when the isabel-colored one (white/yellow) is making a fast, repeating high pitched chirping sound, espacially when it´s about time for bed, and tries to snuggle in under the grey one. Would...

    Is it weird that when I talk to my chickens, they shake their heads very fast?

    So when I go up to their house, they stare at me and try looking at me by turning their head facing one eye looking at me. Chickens can’t look straight. And when I talk to them, they shake their heads now. I don’t think they did that before or maybe they always do when I talk to them. My voice...

    Chirping sounds

    Hello, was just wondering if anyone knows what this sound my chick is making means, or if it has no meaning. When i play this sound back to my chick they respond to it by making the same sound.

    Crackly sound coming from chick's mouth??

    I've noticed with almost all my chicks when I'm playing with them or feeding them vitamin-mash with a syringe that I often hear a 'crackle' sound ..? It difficult to describe the sound -- then I worry maybe they're aspirating or something .... Does anyone know what I'm referring to? But...

    My sweet roo Pepeto sometimes makes this crying noise - Help?

    Sooooo, these little cute babies are my pets and they frequently come to visit me on my room as you can see. They both like to sleep near me, that's what was happening in the video (and that's why they look sleepy). So, Pepeto (my rooster) did this weird noise (please, check it). Can someone...

    Food stuck in chicks nose?

    Hi, I recently got chicks from a local pet store a couple days ago. I give them food and water and all that stuff. But, last night, one of my chicks started to make some weird noises and I’m concerned. I’m not sure if its a sign of something or just stuff in their nose. She doesn’t make the...

    Broody Hen Eating a Dog Day Cicada

    This morning as chickens started to stir, I heard a broody hen (with week old chicks) roosting in weed patch start cackling like she was being attacked. I was inside at time so commotion was fairly loud. When I ran outside one dog was sitting by the door and two others were playing in the...

    Roost Shape May Impact Behavior While Sleeping

    This evening I sat in one of my three larger pens waiting on the owl to come in so I could spy first hand on it. A chair was placed in the coop near about 18 birds roosting in two locations with one group very close to my head and at the same level. We hung out together for a good 90 minutes...

    Managing crowing volume

    I've had between 6 and 10 Serama roosters for a long time. I'm on an acre surrounded by vacant virgin acres. One neighbor used to have chickens but not anymore. The Serama aren't loud enough to bother my neighbors but I now have a Barred Rock who began crowing continuosly from about 4 am. His...

    "Sizzling" Chick?

    One of my month-old Turkens has developed an odd symptom. When she moves around a lot or is touched on her abdomen, her abdomen makes a sound like pop rocks, a fire, or like I said, a sizzling chicken. The sounds lasts for a couple of seconds or sometimes up to a minute. I have had a chick with...

    My hen thinks she's a tribble?

    Recently I took in a 2 year old white Bantam Cochin hen. I'm keeping her under quarantine in a small separate cage before I introduce her to my other hens. She's tame and quite the little talker, she makes a range of sounds when I talk to her, and when I leave the room. A couple of days ago...

    Weird sounding hen. Should I be worried?

    Since it's something I've noted for awhile, and after losing my little rooster yesterday, I have decided to take no more chances with anything regarding my birds. So, I have about a 3 month old Cochin female. She looks healthy, and is active and alert. But...she doesn't sound like a chicken. She...
