Ive just noticed this the last couple of days, every once in a while I notice that they stretch out there neck and almost look like there trying to gag. they don't make anynoise , they will be nine week next tuesday. Its just boys.haven't noticed any of the girls doing it. Is that normal or is something wrong? Thanks for your answers, Sandy The breed is Light Brahma if that makes a difference.
Just wanted to let everybody Know that said He (Honeycomb) was trying to crow! You were right! I came home From work this morning, I no more than got in the Door shut behind me and started talking to the dogs (ritual every morning LOL) I heard this AWFUL sound coming from the Kitchen and went running in there to total silence, I searched The box looking for an injured chicken, blood cause I thought maybe they had been fighting (the Boys!) nothing. So I start walking away from the box to go to the back room and I heard it again! went running back to the box, Total silence! but looking up at me of course was my Honeycomb! So I walked away again but not all the way to the door but where they couldn't see me, and it went again,went running back and caught him in the act! and it was Honeycomb! He was trying to crow well Trying is the key word! The poor boy sounded like a poor sickly mule that could only get out half a bray! I was flabbergasted! went runing into my sons room and said did you hear that, Honey comb was crowing! My son said Mom he was quite all night long till you came in! So what do you think was it a coinsidence that he crowed when I got home, I ask because he usually, well up til today would get all excited and chattering when I get home and go and see them in the morning. Is this going to be another ritual , dogs barking and whinning and chickens crowing to say goodmorning! I know Im probably reading more into it than I should because dont they usually crow in the morning? LOL, I just think its neat that he waited till I got home to start. Does anybody elses Rooster greet them with a crow in the morning? WELL GOTTA RUN, HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYBODY! Sandy
