If I reach under my BO while she's in the nest box she makes a noise that sounds just like one of the Nazgul from Lord of the Rings. Scary.

My old roo Fred growled. I loved it when he made all his noises.

Wow! So, I'm not crazy after all.

My husband about fell off his chair laughing when I told him what I heard. Of course I also tell him all about everything they do and occasionally imitate the noises they make.
Yep, not only is chicken keeping addictive it can make you do strange things.

My buff orpington is the worst with "the growl." She does it all the time.

She's one of the friendliest chickens I have but you wouldn't know it from the noise, LOL. Grrrrrrrr...

My EE growls to keep all the other hens inline when she wants them out of the coop she GROWLS very loud freaked me out the first time I heard it, I had to hide around the corner to see if she was really making that awful noise. Now I think it is pretty funny she seems to do right before I find her egg each day.

Almost as to tell the other hens.... Get out of my way I have important business to do.. LOL

Ivan,


I just love the idea of a baby monitor in the house! I'm SOOOOO copying that!

I have 5 BR that coo and make all sorts of noises (too new to know what's normal) but one makes her own set of noises particularly when she's being held- the closest I can come to describing it is clean fingers rubbing a wet wine glass. Like she's cleaning windows! Very distinctly different from the others...George is a weird one, though, probably to do with the kids giving her a boy name...

The baby monitor serves as a great alarm clock as well, if you've got a rooster

Hens are pretty lively with the language in the morning, too, come to think of it.
