Honking chicken

[aembry1]

I have 3 barred rock 15 week old pullets. 1 of them (Goose) honks like a goose while the other 2 chirp still. This started about 3 weeks ago. I dont know if she is trying to sound like our dogs or what. Is this normal?

No. I will try to get one tomorrow and post it. She is a happy girl. Today she flew up into my lap and stayed there for about 10 minutes eating out of my hand and honking at any of the others that came over to me.

My girls definitely honk! We thought it was funny\odd also, but then we just got used to it! Lol!

Honking is pretty normal in pullets. Not all of them do it, but some honks can pop out while they're progressing from peep-peep to cluck-cluck.

I think it is so cute and funny. I hate that its just a stage. I was hoping that she woukd always do it.
