So...I was doing chicken chores this morning - cleaning the waterers after just having let everyone out when I hear CROWING from the backyard!!! Thinking I must have somehow mis-identified one of our four month old pullets or something I ran outside to see who is doing all the crowing.
It was Henrietta!!! The one I know for sure is a girl, as she is our only layer right now! And then when I wasn't sure if it was really her, she did it again!
This is not from this morning - but a cute pic of her
She really is a girl - I have eggs to prove it.
I think that she was calling for Panda - as Panda, Henrietta, and Juno grew up together...and Juno is distracted with chicks so Henrietta was not sure what to do. I gave her scratch and she was quickly distracted...but will be checking in with DH later to see if she's still doing it!
If it's not one thing - it's another! How am I going to explain to the neighbors that a hen was crowing?
