One of my hens was making meowing noises??? what does that mean?

She's imitating the cat?! MEOW

Honestly I have no idea.

Mine do that too, haven't figured out what it means. They really do have some interesting sounds, don't they.

One of my hens makes goose noises. Really kind of cute.

Broody hens often sound rather like cats when approached.

Never heard them bark though,

Purring, growling and honking are among their vocabulary that I've noticed. When they start barking back at the dogs, I'll be concerned.

One of my hens purrs. And my Barred Rock roo balks kinda cute but I can't explain how it sounds.​

Mine purr. But mine also sound like gurgling aliens when you peek in on them when laying. They also growl/meow like a cat. Usually it's more like a "REEWWWWAAAAARRR". Kind of a cross between a roar and a meow, haha.

That's a funny crow, she's trying hard, it looks like she has to ready herself before she does it.
