10 month pullets doing something weird with egg song

[topochico225]

Hey guys!

I have 3 10 month pullets, a RIR and two CQs, and they've stopped doing their egg song when they lay. My mom said that they do some kind of egg song around 8 am, but they don't lay until 11-12 pm. I'm not worried, just curious. During my school week (Monday-Thursday) they get let out to eat and free range at around 6:45-7 am, and Friday-Sunday they get let out around 8-9 am. While I've been home this week, I heard nothing from the coop when they laid- even when I was up around 7.
Again, not worried, but just curious if this is a common thing for my girls to quit screeching. Maybe they miss me, and they're just so excited that I'm home that they decided to give me some peace and quiet for once. (I'm kidding, of course!)

Thanks!

Topo

Also: it's not an alarm call. I've heard plenty of those, and this is an egg song.

This is most likely them "warming up" is my thoughts. Vocal exesizes, check. Stay in the nestin box forever, check. Lay an egg... well maybe later.

Sometimes as birds get further into their laying cycle they become less vocal; however, as day light period increases they sometimes become more vocal.

you know, my chickens NEVER did an egg song.
