Nope the hens are a lot louder when they sing the egg song. I sometimes end up coming out to check because men they make a rakus of it.

I feel the same way Can't eat my chookies I just give it to someone who will. I have got one rooster who has started crowing at five months I bought one of those no crow rooster collars works well. He still can make regular noise eat and drink just not crow. Couldn't give him away my kids will...
