all the time!! they are so chatty too. and not only do I mimic them i actually talk to them and tell them how my day was and ask them questions. my husband says i am like a weird cat lady only with chickens... he is probably right.
I talk to mine like I would a parakeet or inside bird, I call them to the fence, I say " hey pretty girl!" or Pretty baaby or pretty boy...and they usually all come running to the fence. They are my kids so I talk to them like so seeing I do not have kids. I threaten them too if they are fightin' LOL.
