I love that chicken song!

[Wateredgarden11]

I am so happy with my chickens! We are new to raising chickens and I am a city girl who has just learned to garden, can and now raise chickens in our small backyard.
We have six and they are 16 weeks old. Four days ago I heard this racket going on out in the run. Normally our pullets are quiet. I ran outside and one of our ladies was singing this loud buck buck baawwwk. Right below her toes was this beautiful little brown egg. Whoo hoo! I know its corny but sheesh..I felt like singing with her! We were worried that she would never figure out the nest box but that evening she sang for us again from the nest box! What a clever girl! Daily she has laid these perfect little eggs. Each day the egg size seems to be increasing. I am so proud of her. She is named after my mom..lol.
Hopefully our other chickens will follow her lead and all be singing for us soon and leaving us their eggs in the next box.
Just had to share this..I do not know which sound I love more..the ping I hear right after I have canned some fresh produce from my garen..or that lovely song my chicken sings. I sure hope when all six or our girls start singing ..they harmonize so our neighbors don't complain..

I am still so new at this that each time I hear her doing her song..I start laughing. I hope the day never comes that I take that song for granted.

I LOVE it as well. Not all my girls sing when laying though. Maybe they figure the 2 or 3 out of 8 that do is enough.

I love the egg song, too. I'm not sure if all my girls do it, but if one starts up, quite a few of the others will join in. And often the roosters will toss in a crow or two. It's hilarious, awesome, wonderful and just lots of fun.
