BackYardChicken-BYC sounds like a chicken!

[Manhen]

I cluck at my chickens to let them know I am around, and I sing "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" by Middle of the Road while I feed them. They know the difference.

Then I noticed my shortcut bar icon is "BYC". BYC BYC BYC BYUUUK!.

Does anyone else have a unique way of talking to the cluckers?

I am known in these here parts for carrying on lengthy conversations with my hens. Most figger I'm nuts... ok maybe just my wife says I'm completely out of my mind, but they really do understand a lot of what I'm saying. In fact I get most of my financial and relationship advice from them. I reckon on starting an agony-aunt column, ghost written by the chickens. Think about it, world peace in no time!

When I go out to them with treats or not.. I say in a high pitched tone... CHHHHIIICCKKKEEEEENNSSS!!! This is also me....

 

[Northern Flights]

At least I have better taste in the dresses I wear...

Wait a minute, did I just say that out loud? Run away!

Oh yes, I'm a chicken talker. They constantly take the piss out of my pronunciation and whine irritably that it would be an awful lot easier if I spoke their language.

We bought the book 'How to Speak Chicken'
We now tell the chicks hello and goodnight in chicken speak. When they are free ranging into the neighbors yard I call chick chick chick and they come running. My two buttercups are my most interested. They fly up to my knee or shoulder and we talk girl talk.

Omg! Those chickens, they're coming right at us! (Jumps out window)

We have a pair of Plymouth Rocks, one just took a shot at a cock-a-doodle-doo! First effort, I showed him how it is done.

My birds are imitating my laugh. They all sound like idiots.

I hear chickens in the UK can quote Yeats on demand. Mine can barely get through a few lines of the modern American humorists before slipping back into hillbilly slang. I made little desks for them for poetry classes but it's darned hard to get them to pay attention, especially the classics and Latin. I'm going to try a little Kerouac and some Steinbeck. Maybe I have beat chickens?

Edit: When I went into the coop a minute ago, one of them had a book hidden under a wing that fell out. It was a copy of Chicken Catcher in the Rye. Explains everything. ..

Pfftt, your doing well. I can't drag mine away from the computer. I mention books and I get that, you're just so old school look.
