Could moma not be moma?

[bryan8]

Well i have a bantie that was being broody and she helped raised my other chicks. Today I tryed to seperate her from the older chicks so she would start laying. Then I heard her crowing kinda really loud. It was like a cluck cockal cluck kakkkka cluck. The kakkka was really really loud. Could she be a roo? I'll get pics later, I was just woundering if roos could be broddy or could hens crow.

My hens cluck really loud like that when they are upset or if they just laid an egg. I don't have a rooster to compare to, but I think the rooster sound is pretty much the standard er-erer- er errrr, and not a clucky sound like bok a bok a bok a.

Kind of hard to do sound on this

She was most likely upset as my hens did that when I separated them from their first clutch. Rarely do roosters brood like a hen, but those that I have seen were mostly Silkies. I remember one person though had a Barred Rock rooster hatch a clutch.

Hen, just upset from being moved. You should hear what mine do when being moved and the other day when the 6 ft snake was in the pen eating one. I heard it all the way up the road where I was walking. It will bring you running when that many hens are throwing a fit like that.
But it can be something much more mundane, like today I couldn't reach an egg in the back of one of the little pens and I used the hoe to ease it out. You would have thought I was killing every hen in every pen, lol.
Fear of the unknown is all it is.
