Purring?

[kburen]

For those who don't know, I have 5 EE babies, 1 confirmed roo who are about 6.5 weeks old now. They seem to "purr" a lot. What does it mean?

It means they're happy and content....I have one silkie pullet that's quiet until she comes to stand on my feet then she starts to purr like mad. If I pick her up it gets louder!

It's like a trill - I call it their Happy Sound.

Thanks

They only do it when we're not looking LOL If we go over to their box and look in they stop and give us the "who me??" look

Good to know it's a GOOD thing!

My roo when he was little use to purr. It sounded like an old rotory phone. Now he crows!

There's nothing sweeter than a bunch of "purring" chickens! My younger ones will do that after they get a treat - then they flop down in a sunny spot and just start trilling. It is such a happy sound you can't help but smile.
