We're doing the egg song all wrong

[McChooky]

I thought my Wee Silkies would be very quiet but then my Silkie/Cochin started laying - she can scream the barn down! When she first started I thought she was dying or something (being new to chickens....). Her sisters are showing signs of starting to get ready to lay and they too are starting the bwak-bwak-bwak-BWAK, bwak-bwak-bwak-BWAK, bwak-bwak-bwak-BWAK, bwak-bwak-bwak-BWAK, bwak-bwak-bwak-BWAK screaming.... for such tiny wee things they sure can let you know what they are thinking! and it goes on and on..... WOW.....

Of course once that egg is laid she goes back to quietly chirping and clucking to herself doing whatever it is chickens do!

I grew up a mile from a chicken farm and used to go up there all the time when I was a kid.I hated going in the chicken house but sometimes I'd go in and help my friend feed them.The noise (and dust) from all the hens was horrible.They made a lot of noise!!! The fans made it worse.
