    I have two RIR's currently laying out of my flock of four and I never hear any kind of song. Is this normal? Just curious

    Who knows? My Marans, who are rather timid, are very quiet when they lay eggs. MY JGs, however, tell the neighbors down the road when they are laying.

    I have a new flock, two Maran's. One is laying and she does "sing" after laying. The other isn't laying yet, so I couldn't tell you about her. In my experience, most of my girls sing, but it's difficult to tell if some don't.

    Anything is possible. After all, they are like all creatures...different from each other.

    As long as they are healthy and laying, it really doesn't matter, does it?
