Chicken Talk

[saltnprepper]

Do chickens talk? I swear when I go out in the morning and I hear them cackling to themselves its a totally different sound then when they know Im coming or when they know Im watching them. It turns into more of an honk then a cluck and if I do not bring a treat they get kind of loud about it. I swear they are telling me to go get the treats. Also at night when I go check on them to close everything up they are much louder, again I think they are asking me where the treats are.

Well, they have egg songs and danger squawks, "I found food!" calls and all sorts of little gripes and contented clucks. All my girls talk to each other and to me. I have one that answers me and initiates conversation. Her vocabulary includes "Huh?"; "Huh-uh!"; "Uh-Huh..."; "Uh-uh-huh!" and "Huh-uh-huh!" with different intonations and accents. I know; She's a genius.
