One of my chickens vocalizes in its sleep.

[RoosterWhisperer]

One evening about 2 a.m. a month ago, I was awaken by one of my newer hens (8 months old) clucking her "egg song" quite loudly. But she was perched up in the pine tree and she was not laying an egg. Then last night, again at 2 a.m. the same hen (I believe) started wailing the tragic "I'm being carried away" vocalization. I woke up and went running out, thinking she was being attacked by something, but there was no predator in evidence--just a lot of hens looking around.

I am guessing the hen (or hens) are dreaming and "sleep talking". Has anyone had similar experiences?

I love your sig!
