It's late here in the east and I'm ready for bed. I'll have fun reading the reponses to this tomorrow. I walk out the back door and yell "HEY [in falsetto] CLUCK CLUCK CLUCKS!" Boy you ought to see 'em run to the near corner of their run.
I start with "Here chick chick chick chick" but after a while, it starts to sound like a clock, (Here tick tick tick tick). If I go long enough, I imagine I sound like a watch with a megaphone on it
" CHICKEEENNNSSS!!!!" or "GOOOODDIEESS!!!!" or Just go outside with the silver pan of goodies... The louder I yell though, the faster they come running
ha, ha, ha I have three embden geese, so I yell here geese, geese, geese, and the geese, chickens, ducks, and guineas all come running. it looks like a poultry stampede
I just say Hey Ladies! they come running or if they hear the screen door slam I don't have to say a word they are already half way there.
I wasnt having any luck whatsoever in callin my chickens, so I started doing that horse clucking thing when you want them to go, you know the tongue in side of cheek? I did it every time I fed them a goodie, so now...lil feet pound when I do it, its so cute! They KNOW to respond to that one ...! Easier than hollering!
Mine cme running to the sound of their feed being poured into the metal feeders. They hear this and its like a stampeed of chickens racing to get to the feeders first. Not like I am stingy but they seem to think that the best parts are for who ever gets there first. If They know I dont have food I could stand out there all day and call and they would all look at me like I am nuts from a good distance away.
