Do my new hens have an accent?

[Squeaky]

So I had these two hens shipped to me from Texas (they're in quarantine right now) and I noticed something unusual. Instead of muttering under their breath or saying "Bok bok ba-GAWK" like my Rhode Island Reds, these Ameraucanas go "Buk buk buh-GAACK".

Is it a breed thing, or do the new ladies have the chicken equivalent of a Texan drawl?

... because I run my household in French and was hoping for a nice, sophisticated "bocque bocque ba-GOCQUE". Which the RIR's are starting to approximate sometimes, although there's still a lot of raucous bokking and gacking going on especially in the morning.

The rain (bocque bocque)
in Spain (ba-Gocque)
falls mainly on the plain. (ack! ack! ack!)

were they drinking coors or bud?

My black langshans have a completely different vocabulary and prononciation than my other chickens. Much more "warbly" and whistley and vibrato sounding.

WE got a roo so that our Red Star hen would stop trying to crow... She hasn't stopped.

We are going to have to get rid of her... She sounds horrid... I rather listen to the rooster crow... and he has a very soft crow compared to the first Delaware roo that we had.

I may reconsider my vodka sharing policy if I ever get Polish chickens. One has to be culturally sensitive.
