OMG......MY INJURED PULLET IS CHIRPING

[mtnhomechick]

Well, as some of you know I am chicken sitting these days for a two month old injured pullet "Scarlet".

I am here alone with her ( missing the party .....dh ( smarter than me ) is AT party ) and it is quiet. Now, I have had Scarlet in a sling in a location where she can see our deck which is always full of birds.

She is in her sling just a chirping away.

Is she mimmicking the birds or do chickens sometimes chirp? I personally have never heard a chicken chirp!

I don't know if it's normal but it sounds real pretty

My girls have a whole repertoire of sounds, from trilling to pseudo-clucking (they're just 7 weeks old). We can tell what their mood is based on the sounds they make.

Bet your girl is just making a new kind of noise. Your girls ounds like she's content.

Either content or bored I suppose.

Chickens make all kinds of sounds. Scientists say they have upwards of 35 distinct vocalizations, more than cats and dogs combined.
I probably don't ant to know who paid for that research.

So it could anything from pain to wishng SHE was at the party you should have gone to.
