hen making boy noises

[karminski]

i have a hen that is trying to mimic a cockeral it sounds very strange but it is also very funny , well today someone on the allotment site that i dont really get on with spoke and mentioned have i got a cockeral and i said no but one of the chicks is a poss boy but of course that wont be crowing for a while yet as hes only 2 weeks old and she reckons that she has heard my cockeral at 5am umm no more like my hen trying to be a boy anyway i odnt think she was mad over it or anything i just find it strange that when i had dinky and donkey they never heard them crow once 05 as i went round asking everyone close by if they can hear them they may of been polish and quite small but as you guys know they still have a big mouth :lol: if shes over there tonight i am going to ask why can she hear one bird and not the others .

Perhaps someone else has a cockerel or maybe someone had dumped one on the allotments Karminski? The neighbours assumed what they could hear was our cockerels, until I pointed out where they were.

there is only one cockeral that i know of and thats one of mine that i gave to my farmer friend and although hes only 5 min walk away you would never hear it from where we are ,and within walking distance of my house there is no one that has birds except an indain family a few doors up { friends of this person in post ] and they have 3 hens , i was going to ask her why she can hear this now but never once heard the real cockerals but mum says keep quiet about it as it may kick of trouble that we dont want this person adores that sort of thing and wil say anything to start something .

You know, I have a neighbour just like that! He complained to the Council about my keeping hens, fortunately the council replied that there's nothing illegal about keeping hens so that was the end of that. However, there was a cat in the garden last Sunday and one of my hens was objecting strongly. This neighbour threw open his bedroom window and shouted - very loudly - to 'shut the f*** up', much to the annoyance of all my neighbours!! I think on the annoyance stakes my neighbour's got me beaten hands down!!

We've got big softy Arnold inside at the moment with a bad leg. He's a large Wyandotte and he's LOUD. He started at 4.00am, so we've had to move a rearing coop into the cellar and bed him down at night in there. Nice and cool and quiet for him anyway. Bet our 'noise nuisance' neighbours had even more of a shock than we did!

:lol: bet hes liking it in there with it being nice and cool , i am waiting for this woman to say something esle as she knows only to well that if i end up with cockerals from hatches that they dont stay long .
