Noisy "hen"

[interlaaken]

Looks just like my RIR hen. I'd wait. Does he/she have spurs? My hens can all be very noisy, especially after they have laid an egg - they like to strut about and brag.

thats a pullet i use to have 12 rhode island red hens and two of them
were very very noisey screaming for evrything..stratled a bird passed by layed and egg
whatever and they would start and the others would follow untill i started to get
worried with the neighbors and sold them all because i got rid of the noisey ones and
others would take their place making noise..its just how they are..not i have a silver
phoenix hen that does it to but only after laying an egg

If its a redstar its a noisy hen because redstars are bread to be certain colors if it was a roo it would have black in with its red feathers

There is some black in with the tail feathers but not the rest of the body. Man, that is one noisy hen. My poor neighbors...

But YAY! This makes me happy!!

 

[girlychick]

We have a hen like that! her tail is also like that! Is she noisy all day? Or just when she is laying?

It definitely looks girl. My RIR hen is a noisy girl too. She is constantly complaining and making a stink about everything. She never shuts up. Fortunately, unless she is doing the egg laying sound, her 'voice' doesn't carry like that of a rooster's crow so my neighbors don't complain.

She doesn't lay yet...only 17 weeks old. Hopefully SOON! She does it in the morning before I've opened the door to their tractor, and yells and yells anytime I go near their area of the yard. I guess she's not a rooster - she just hates me. Ha!

Oh, and yells about 15 other times during the day for no apparent reason. Baawwwwwwkkkkkk. BBBBaaaaawwwwwwwwwkkkkkkkkkkk.
