Chickens singing the egg song before one goes in to lay

[Sycamore Hill Chicks]

I usually hear the " buk buk bugaw " when one is getting ready to go in the coop to lay. Do your chickens do this?

Definitely!!
For the pullets first laying, my rooster will also join in on the song.

 

[deidreg]

Yes!!! It's the best!!

Mine will do "The Song" before, during, after laying, and whenever I scare them *evil laugh*

That's so funny that roosters join in to celebrate!

Much singing, especially for our smallest Buff Orpington who laid the first egg today at 167 days from our flock of 4. Very noisy!

My roosters will occasionally join in too, as do the rest of the hens.... it’s very noisy around here at laying time

Mine have never sung the egg song...

Maybe they will when they start laying again...?
