Chicken language dvd?

[sally4500]

I have been searching for a dvd that will let you listen to a certain chicken cluck or sound, then tell you what it means. This is for our new 4-H poultry group. Chickens make a variety of cool sounds, and the kids are interested in what they are saying.

Anyone know where I can get one?

no, but you might be able to record different calls

"food here"

"land predator"

"air predator"

"I challenge you"

"I'm broody back-off"

"I'm king"

"I'm Queen"

"I do NOT want to mate"

I nearly choked when I read that.

I've always thought that chicken language just had variations on two words: "FOOD!" and "RUN!"

Not very deep conversations.

Last year our neighbor blasted various bird alarm calls nonstop for weeks to protect his orchard/grape crops. I don't know how well they worked for him but our chickens and dog ignored them completely.
It took me days to figure out what the commotion was all about: I heard the alarm calls but never saw any birds fleeing. Duh! THEY knew it was a recording!

I'll add to what FireTigeress said:

"I just laid this EGG, I just laid this EGG, I just laid this EGG"
