Chicks purring??

[kingchickies]

Hi everyone. I'm sure the title tells you I'm new to chicks, and this might be a stupid question....but I'm noticing a few chicks that instead of the cheep, cheep sound making more of a well to me it sounds like a loud purring type cheep. Lol if that makes sense. Is this just a normal noise or does it mean something else? Thanks for any info...

Well, I will try. Didn't know we could post videos! I have some cute ones of them outside fluttering around. There are 19 so, I'm not exactly sure who is doing it. I was wondering if it might be a boy chick thing. Hahaha

Yes, they are all doing great, they are almost 5 weeks now. Just the new noise. I think it's cute, just wondered if it was a boy thing, trying to find their voice or something. Lol

Im not sure you can post videos here.
You can post them to youtube and post the link here though.

Hi, chickens purr when they are extremely contented. It's real cute isn't,t it. Obviously you are a good chicken mama!! I had one hen do it once when she was sitting eggs.
