It reminds me of two chicken noises I've heard before.I thought it was going to be peaceful tonight.View attachment 1955047
My 1st 3 had settled peaceably.
Then this.
@1:12 & 2:54 someone makes a sound I've never, ever heard my hens make before.
Just after I finished filming all hell broke loose . Hepzibah got nearly everyone off the top bar ~ except Lottie. For some reason Lottie was accepted but everyone else had to start over. It wasn't pretty.
The first is the noise made by my neighbours hen when she's trying to crow like a rooster, but that involves standing up and, well, trying to crow with lungs full and head back. I can hear her right now, "crowing" up the street.
The second was the squeal made by Sandy when Mary sat on her, grabbed her comb and twisted it. (Thankfully a one-of occurrence as far as I'm aware.) There were little black specks on Sandy's comb afterwards, which I was told were dried blood specks.
Do any of your hens have dark specks on their comb?
