Are they clucking? ALREADY?

While feeding my six week old babies this morning I heard the most pathetic little "squeaks" coming from them. Not quite a peep, but not really a cluck. It was only from the two BR, but man...my little babies are growing so fast! I don't know what I'm going to do when I don't hear that sweet little peeping anymore....oh wait, yes I do.....I'll get MORE!!

I think it varies, but little boy chicks (cockerels) do practice crowing.....that seems pretty early but, if you watch them, there is a certain way a rooster extends it's neck each time it crows.....so look for that neck stretching......

I hope they aren't crowing! They are supposed to be pullets...!!

too funny. I just posted a question about this very thing. My babies are six weeks old too. You're right, I'm gonna miss those peeps too.

I was just saying that I want more babies...

They have a kind of croon that yours might be practicing. Kind of a soothing noise.
