From egg to chick!

Not to jump in this post and try to redirect it to somewhere else, but I want everyone's opinions and observations! I am trying to figure out how chickens can tell the difference of noises that sound exactly the same－or are the same, just online or real. As a person who studies birds, I want to know more.

Ok, so you have black covered, Kithara can be your fun color attempt, I wouldn't use Hook with that beak plus he doesn't have a color you can know about.

I feel bad for Hook and his little crooked beak. Unless they willingly submit, I don't think he can snag em.

I know, it's horrible to talk about chickens, isn't it?!

It's not like I talk about chickens or anything. My signature even proves that I don't.

It truly is. Such a shame. All this chicken talk.

@fluffycrow, you know how we were talking about broodies? One of my Speckled Sussex pullets, Lily, went broody a few days ago on a clutch of about six eggs, and she was starting to get to the point that she didn't want to even come off to eat or go to roost at night, so I had to, unfortunately, take her eggs away to break her before she starved or succumbed to a predator. Plus, they weren't fertilized to begin with because my Speckled Sussex cockerel had passed away. Better luck next time, I suppose. I would love to hatch out Ruby (Rhode Island Red Bantam) and Jasper's (Hatchery quality Dutch Bantam)'s offspring, either by waiting for Ruby to be broody (which probably won't ever happen) or incubating the eggs myself. I hear that their chicks would be black-tailed red.
