are you sure???

i thought it was some sound it makes due to sickness cause ive been told that certain noises can mean certain symptoms for chickens.

i hope your right though....

Mine make that noise sometimes, too. Especially when I sing to them!

my buff orp hen purrs when she's working on an egg, along with chuckling noises. sounds like you've got a happy hen to me.
