Why does my chick honk like a goose!?!

[indego_88]

My 10 week old chick which we think definitly looks like a hen, started to honk! She sounds so strange and like a goose...
Is this normal!? Is it her voice breaking or something?

What breed is the hen? All of my dark brahma hens make a noise that is much closer to a honk than a cluck. Even my runt Lil' Bit has this loud honk that comes out of her tiny body; surprises me every time I hear her.
If the hen is not congested or sick, I'd chalk it up to an individual thing.

I have a rir and 2 br chicks that are 14 weeks old , and they started honking pretty young, about 8/9 weeks. The rir chick is the only one that still does it when she wants attention, my other chickens never did that. I think its pretty normal.

I have one that honks louder than the peacocks!! LOL she scares the mess out of me when she does it right under my feet. BTW I named her Fran because she sounds like Fran Drescher laughing loud

My BR is a honker. Her honk is so tragic-sounding that it always makes me want to go mother her. I think that I'm hurting her social standing by picking her up and petting her so much.

I think a lot of chicks honk as their voice goes from peep to adult. To me it sounds like a party horn...

I had a rir that honked midway through a cackle. Funny. Merry
