Is this a warning call or something else.

So my dog and I were out with he chickens the other day and they started in on this call back and forth, what is it?

Chicken Talk! That is what they do when they sound alarm. Big Bad Predators are around. Or they are scared. Or even possibly a hen is laying an egg.

Wish ya the best.

Mine do that when they see something that scares or startles them. Or when they ****THINK*** they've seen something lol. I let my girls out quite early in the morning (they have a little light over their run area) and sometimes I have to run out to hush them up so they don't wake the neighbors. I usually take a look around the yard but don't often find what they saw. I have spied a cat or squirrel when they've been making that noise.

Think that is most probably a warning, could have been a egg, but the pullet speech is wrong

Even upcoming wind can cause that, just for interest sake

Interesting - Thanks!

Either way it was fun, and I was allowed to "join" the conversation! Thanks all

Sounds like the egg song
