We have hens and they are funny.
When they were chicks they would tweet. When they got older to pullet age and their voices changed to clucks- it was startling to them. One would chirp chirp cluck and the others would get scared from the new sound of the cluck and run..... which would make them all run at the fright. Running would induce chirping and an occasional cluck..oh the cycle. It was very similar to teen age boys.
Now it is relaxing to see them roam around our yard scratching looking for bugs.
Here is who stopped by my window to say a hello
Rosey- A RI Red
Killer- A Barred Rock is the Alpha Hen.She pecks a lot- thus the kids have deemed her killer.
Kick Butt- A Black Star- her butt feathers are down like some one kicked her and you have an urge to punt her at times- joking just!! just joking! We call her KB for short).
Have a Red Star Scarlet that is broody. She didn't stop by the computer room window to say "hi" to me.
