What does "Bock Bock BA-GOCK!" mean?

[gmendoza]

Here is the chicken language I have learned.

Hens:
Bock Bock BA-GOCK = I just laid an egg
Ba bock ba BACK = hurry and lay your egg, im next.
BA BA bock bock bock = predator
Boooock boock boock boock =general chit chat
Prrrrrrrr= content

Rooster:
Errt errr errt a errrrrrr =good morning/goodnight/these are my hens here!
Rrrrrrrrrrrrr = mad
Rwwwlaier = cussing out butterfly
Rrrraaawer = let go of my hen!
Buck buck boock booock boock = censored talk from roo to hen

I heard somewhere that chickens have over 30 vocalizations. I'm glad that I'm not the only person who has tried to identify even a small portion.

I've yet to hear any of my chickens sing, but boy, does my BO cockeral get loud with that egg song. I've noticed that he sings when a new pullet is in the box, not when the already laying girls are there. Do you think he's encouraging the new girl?

I laid an egg!!!
or
Goldie laid an egg!!!!
or
Blackie laid an egg!!!!!
or
Suzie laid an egg!!!!
or
Someone else laid an egg!!!
or
Here I am in the barn, where is everyone else!!!????
or
I just feel so happy I have to sing!!!!
or
It's early in the morning, time to sing!!!!!
or
It's afternoon now, time to sing!!!!

That seems to be the many different things my girls are trying to say when they sing that song.

My white leghorns do this before laying...when I am too close for their comfort. For some reason they love their privacy and pace around before going into a box as though they need me to leave before they do anymore laying!

They only do this before the egg. Afterwards, they are calm (well as calm as a leghorn can be) and life goes back to normal. My other breeds don't sing

Wait let me get my chicken to English dictionary...Humm here it is "WE ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD, AND EAT ALL THE HUMANS!" Well that's disconcerting.

I forgot an important one from a hen:

RAAAAWWRRRR! = GO AWAY! I'M BUSY!! (peeping into the nesting box and the hen\\s havent finished laying the egg).

Don't forget..... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp which means:

I shouldn't have had those refried beans!!!!
