Hen will not stop trumpeting all day

[Jane Jane]

Would love to hear it!
You'll have to upload vid to youtube, or similar platform, then paste a link here.

I will try, but don't have a cell phone. I can borrow someone's; it's worth the effort to just hear that trumpet blast, LOL.

My hen makes that noise when she's separated from her friends, or when she's hungry/thirsty, or wants to be let outside to free range. The only difference is she doesn't pause between the trumpets

Yeah that's what mine do when they want out of the coop/or get upset because they got separated from the main group.

Not quite like anything I've heard before, either here in my coop or on BYC.

Never heard a hen making noises like this. Almost sounds as if strangled and calling for help!

Did you check her beak and throat? Maybe something got stuck.

She might even suffer from some kind of hormonal imbalance (pale comb etc.).

Are you sure that isn’t a kid (the goat kind)? maybe She’s half parrot and learned the goat ‘baaaa’.

No pause? What kind of lung capacity does that girl have! Hahaha. Mine is SO LOUD I think she pauses just because she has to refill her lungs. Too bad the roo didn't crow for comparison; he's barely audible when I am in the back field, but her trumpet blasts come through very clearly.

Wow, I didn't even consider that I might have the first goat/chicken chimera. HAHAHA

I checked her beak and felt her throat for any type of anomaly, but nothing felt or looked abnormal. I doubt anything is stuck in there because this has been going on for weeks, almost 2 months actually. And, she trumpets, takes a few bites of grass, trumpets, walks a bit, eats some more, trumpets, and goes gets a drink... She does it mostly after breakfast (morning feeding) until around 2 pm. Then, she is normal as can be except for that pale comb. It's so hot right now, and she doesn't even pant.
