A little too loud and proud

[77horses]

our pullet did that too a few days ago when she laid her first egg! She started cackling loudly before and after she laid the egg!

I didn't know why but now that I see all these other people with the same problem, I am guessing it's just natural. LOL

it was like she was telling the others, "Hey! Look at this! an egg!"

so porud of her.

ROFL My Hamburgs are like this. The next hen in line will pace outside the nest yelling at the current occupant to hurry it along and GET OUT!!

LOL yeap that about sums it up with my girls while the one is pacing you can see the one in the box cringing at the others ruckus, Sometimes i have to leave too just so i dont pick one up and kiss it to death

We have one hen that sounds like a kitten being tortured when she lays. Very disturbing.

I love this thread!! That is so funny! We have our first hen getting ready to lay so I can't wait to hear what she does. She is a buff orp. We have an australorpe that walks aroud making this loud long BBBBBBRrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk sound anytime she is near the coop. It is strange but cute! Anyways, thanks for all of the giggles.

So we tried letting her in the house to lay her eggs in a box inside - worked great, definitely amused the kids, but then when she went back outside she still carried on

There is just no shushin' this girl!

On the bright side, one of our neighbors (six doors down I might add) heard the ruckus and came to see who else had chickens - so now we know we aren't the only ones!
