Chicken Friends,
We have an issue that is quickly becoming urgent.
Lucy, my Silver Laced Wyandotte, who is normally the most docile of our bunch has taken to sqwaking in the morning and she is REALLY loud. So loud we are afraid the neighbors are going to call the police. We only live on a quarter acre and the neighbors are very close.
This behavior started early in the morning because she wants out of the pen. I usually let her out into the run by 6:45 or 7 a.m. My husband was home today and let her run around the backyard and she has been screaming for 15 minutes non-stop. We know it isn't the needing to be let out as she is running around the backyward. Could something else be going on?
She doesn't make this kind of noise when she lays so this is really out of character.
Anyone have any recommendations about how to quiet a bird down? This won't last long and I am afraid we will have to get rid of her if we can't figure out what is going on.
Laura
