My girls get called in waves

The older girls respond to "Biggie Girls" and the youngest group comes to "Babies"

I have collectively called them those name since the brooder and several come when I call their names.

I don't NEED to call them, my back door calls them for me.
However, If I want to watch them run REALLY fast and watch little girl fly, I call,''CHICKENS! HERE CHICK- CHICK CHICKENS!''

When I call to mine, I say something along the lines of, "bwoq bwoq bWOQ bwaqbwaqbwaqbwaqbwaq BWAAAAAAAAAAAAQ BGWAQ BWAQ!!!" They always talk back to me, LOL!

I think my Husband thinks I'm a nutcake, though!

ok... laugh if you will...
this is kinda embarrassing anyways...
To get them back into the coop-- all I have to say is "C'mon Girls-- back in the house! and in they go...

But when I go out 1st thing to let them out, or give treats, or feed....
It's "Where's Momma's Girls/Boys/Babies? My Pretty pretties???" And they FREAK! Running, flapping-- fighting over shoulder space......

Well, I normally don't have to call mine. The sliding glass door does it for me, BUT, if they're out of earshot, I just say (in a sing-song voice)
"come-on girls", and they come runnin'. Dorothy Dominique is hilarious the way she runs, though.
I trained mine to come to mini animal crackers, so they always come running. Comes in handy when you forget to close the gate and you have to go to work

I just throw a handful in their run, and in they go-------

my girls love grapes.. yes the fruit so I simply yell over and over.. grape grape grape grape grape grape.. and they come running!!!!!

 

[carress]

I yell 'come on birds!'
they often come running after they hear my door slam.

I call my chickens by singing this catching little tune:

CHICKEN LITTLES, CHICKEN LITTLES, MY CHICKEN LITTLES!! HEY CHICKEN BUTTS. CHICKEN LITTLES, CHICKEN LITTLES, MY CHICKEN LITTLES!

Then I make this sound grandma used to make by sticking you tongue to the roof of your mouth that kinda sounds like a chicken

I love my chickens.
