    Anyone speak (Guinea) fowl language?

    The keet is constantly communicating with me through chirping - from the moment I say good morning to it, till the time the sun goes down. I have come to recognise some of its keet language and here are a few sounds I think I have managed to translate: 1. The sound it makes most often of all is...

    Why is there a thump sound when my duck drinks water? Is this normal?

    I just noticed this recently. She’s a years old now and this seems to have happened in just the last few days. Is this normal as ducks grow older or is she sick??

    Understanding the Confusing and Mysterious Language of Chickens (With Three Tips to Become More Fluent)

    Every experienced chicken owner knows that their birds have a large (and sometimes funny!) vocabulary that allows them to communicate with the flock. From a cock-a-doodle-do to the squawk of a broody hen, chickens always seem to have the right word to describe what they are feeling. A hen may...

    Ducks Afraid of Sound of Rain on Coop Roof

    Hi all, I have 5 Rouen ducks, 7 weeks old. I moved them outside to their coop on Friday and they are doing great. Today it’s raining for the first time and I noticed they aren’t going inside to stay dry or warm. I went into the coop (it’s a fully enclosed room at the back of our barn) and...

    Broody Hen and Duckling Talking

    This beautiful hen brooded and hatched out ducklings in 2016. This short clip features her vocalizing to the baby, clucking to it at the end and scolding me in the beginning!

    New to Peas- What's Mine Saying?

    Hello, pea-peeps! I recently had a peacock walk into my life, and have been having a difficult time researching all the little quirks I've noticed in this guy. And yes, I have read the peafowl 101 stickies, and more. I've spent the last decade rescuing roosters, but the last two years have...

    Peeping sounds when eating?

    Hi all, we had a young-seeming peacock arrive on our doorstep in October. Have no idea where the lonely guy came from but he's taken up residence here now. (We are semi-rural but have no outdoor animals ourselves.) He makes no noise when eating except when I feed him dried worms - then he peeps...

    Button Quail bedding and indoor home set up.

    Hey there, I just have a couple questions about my wee quails. The first question is about the bedding. When I got my first one, I had no idea what to do with her. She was a petland reject that had brain damage so they just gave her to me. The store had no idea how to care for quails and they...

    Rooster making funny sounds - anyone know what it means?

    My buddy Charles makes these funny sounds, since he grew up to a cockerel. My friends and family find it funny because it looks like he was begging for food or something like. In fact, this behavior makes him very lovable to everyone who meet him. Always gave me a lot of laughs, but also...

    Crooning and Clicking? What do these noises mean?

    We've had our hens for a few months and have gotten pretty used to their noises by now. But there are 2 noises that still have us puzzled. 1. Sometimes our chickens will make a crrrrrrrn noise while staring intently into space. At first we thought it was a predator warning, but when we check...

    What do these sound mean? 2 month old flock

    Hello all! I'm a first time chicken owner, and I'm trying to wean them off of having a light on at night. I had a small nightlight on for them, but I don't think they could see by it at all. They starting making a sort of whining sound, and wouldn't calm down until I sat on the ground and held...
