No egg song?

[ChickNanny13]

I had 5 Blue Wyandottes, never got an egg song ... They preferred me having to walk everyday, several times a day to check I've had a hen do an egg song when others laid. Then again now that you mention it, I get more eggs than egg songs

Oh yes, I have seen that happen on occasion ...... is that a Ragdoll in your profile pic? Mine is a Ragdoll and the love of my life!

I get this a lot. He sure looks like one, especially as a kitten!

He looks simply enormous but is only ten pounds. Look at that fluff.
This is Shiloh. He has a fluffy white cat with a slim frame, triangular face and tilted, almond shaped eyes that suggest an Oriental background. Most of the cats from her farm were white cats, with a black cat for a father.
The father of Shiloh was unrelated, likely a black and white. He was a sport.
The only pointed cat in an otherwise white litter of four.
Snowbelle the mother also had another litter just like his with the sport a female this time.

I've never heard an egg song either. I hear a little clucking from one Isa Brown first thing in the morning while she is sitting on the nest.
I just got a cockerel and he was in coaching my 3 yr old brahma one afternoon when she went to sit in the nest box.
He was making prettier sounds than I've ever heard from the girls.
I figure I am just missing their songs?
Maybe it is a breed thing too?

Oh my... I am convinced that he has Ragdoll in his genes!! The next one I get will look just like that! I love those colors! Mine is Pippin and he is a flame point.... Shiloh looks better than Pippin’s mom and dad... have you googled Ragdolls? He sounds like he has all the characteristics of the breed. Does he flop like a “Ragdoll” when picked up?

My chickens rarely sing the egg song. I did have a Light Brahma hen who would sing the egg song, but no one else in the flock did. My current flock will occasionally cluck after laying an egg, but generally they are happy to go back to foraging or digging in the deep litter after laying.

They are sure funny! I would love to hear a rooster crow each day but I say that now... speaking of... I was sitting in the coop and decided to go to youtube and I played a video of roosters crowing for the gals.. they didn’t know what to think! And you talk about obnoxious It was hilarious!!!

You are right! At least we get the eggs!! But it would be nice to get a heads up And my GLW has never said peep about her eggs... but she does talk a lot.

I have looked them up several times and agree. The first was created with a domestic white cat for a mother just like mine though. He doesn't really flop, he just doesn't struggle until you sit down.

If he has blue eyes and rabbit like fur than I do believe that a Ragdoll daddy happened upon that barn at some point... because, you see how light his fur was as a kitten and now is very dark? That’s what their fur does, it darkens with age as they are born completely white...

I know, but all pointed cats are that way. Plus the only cats around here are spotted black, brown tabby or blue


I'll betcha the mother was pointed and white. The white masks colors. Plus she's the one with an Oriental frame. The male is a general tomcat right off the production line.
