Chicken sound cross reference???

[seismic wonder2]

Has anyone ever taken the time to cross the little noises and sounds a chicken makes to what they are doing or what they want?

I've noticed my silkie, Roxy, makes a little noise when she knows I have treats, really quiet like, then Georgia comes running from across the yard!

Or the little noise Georgia makes when I flip her over to check her feet then Roxy takes off like a shot to hide in the coop! (Roxy HATES being upside down)

They have all sorts of noises, I need to record them and play back to see what they do, then keep track of it. Maybe I'll write a book "The Chicken Whisperer"... LOL

Sure! I do that daily. Tallulah (RSL) follows me around when I'm scooping poop and she does that little "doot doot doot" noise and watches every little thing I do. She's the curious one. Then Maudette does a double cackle after she lays an egg. So if I'm inside the house and hear that, I know who just laid an egg! My older hen Pearl sounds more like a goose and she makes those low under her breath honking noises when I'm out with her. Her way of just chatting.

and you have to be careful when the hens are about......I constantly have to look behind me before I turn around otherwise someone's going to get their little foot stepped on. Especially when I'm near the food shed.
