My favourite noise that a chicken makes is 'purring' like a cat. I am surprised that it was not mentioned. Only certain birds make it. But when they are happy and content they emit a purr, sometimes with a little trill sound. Other birds who are also happy will join in, like they are saying "I'm happy too".

We had multiple roosters hatched, didn't want to kill any. They had fights for 3 weeks that were violent and bloody, they would go for hours at each other. After 3 weeks, however, they established the order and they never again got into another fight. They remained very close and friendly to each other.

What a nice video! I'm sending this to my friend who has chickens. I miss my chickens. Well, they weren't really *my* chickens. I moved to a tropical island off the coast of Puerto Rico, where the chicken is apparently the state bird. There were about 100 feral chickens that visited me regularly. I bought a little corn to throw out to them. When I would step out on the balcon and open the corn tin, many chickens ran over to the house. I would throw out a few handfuls of corn to the crowd's delight. I accidentally made a nest on the balcon with a milk crate that had a rug in it. After that, my eggs were delivered. The brooding hens would nest on the ground and be very very still for days, only occasionally taking a short break. There would be about 10 or 14 chicks all hatch on the same day. Out of that number, if 4 survived the vagaries of feral chicken life, it was considered a success. When I fed the horses, notoriously messy eaters, the chickens used to gather beneath them to get the dropped horse feed. One day, the colt stepped on a chick by accident and killed it. The mother hen went after the little fellow so fiercely that he was afraid to approach his feed bucket for a week. He was very careful after that. We had hawks interested in the chickens. When the shadow of a hawk passed over the yard, the chickens would become instantly quiet, and disappeared into the bush. They roosted high up in the trees at night. Now I am in Massachusetts and there is a municipal regulation against having in rooster, even a single rooster, within city limits. Your rooster is not the only one who crows at times other than the break of day. And once one rooster starts, all the others feel the need to answer. It was my observation that this started around 1 am, an hour or an hour and a half after the coqui ceased their chorus. And the tourists were interesting too. One group asked the host if they could please get the coqui to stop making such a racket. And there was a tourist accommodation right next to a rooster farm as well. That did not go over well with visitors. My favorite tourist was the anxious man who came into the store and said to the lady behind the counter, "They told me you could take the mail to the post office." She agreed and said she would take it in the morning. He wondered earnestly why she couldn't take it earlier. He didn't realize there would be no mail leaving the island until the following day.

I have two roosters that live all over my yard with a couple hens... Do you have dogs or raccoons that could possibly be coming into your property at night? That the rooster can see from where he roosts and is not familiar with? That could be the reason for the morning yell throughout the night.... At night my roosters sleep in the tree in our front yard. They are GREAT GUARD DOGS at night! Sometimes catching people even before our actual dogs do!! ANY & EVERY SINGLE TIME someone goes outside or someone comes on to our property, he calls out giving us a warning that someone is there! & they won't stop until whoever is out there comes inside or leaves. ❤❤❤❤❤ I love them. They are the best! Thank you so much for this video! I needed practically everything you've said!

This is such a cool video! I loved the "chicken language" segment 😊

Greetings from England, this video is a gem, thank you kindly.

Thanks for such good quality information. I have been keeping chickens for about 2 years now. I took over my daughter’s little flock when she went to college, and I’ve added, adjusted and made the flock my own. Never knew I would be raising chickens, but here I am and I love it!

Great video. New to the chicken and am quite smitten. Thank you.

Thankyou, ive seen alot of videos where people seem like they are talking down to new owners. You have a good voice for this.

I have 4 rosters (and some hens) for pets and they are super chill, they never fight and often times sit next to each other. Real bromance :) 3 brahma and one orpington. Also, I used to have dwarf cochins that were really calm, but a decade before we had some other cochins that were fighting each other to death… so even in the same breed there could be wast differences in temperament.

This video was great! Thank you so much for the information!

Very informative, just what I was looking for- thanks!

I have never been around chickens much. I had a girlfriend, they had chickens, there was a big rooster, who immediately started pok-po-kaaah at me. Now, I'm excellent at replicating sounds, so I just repeated every single noise the rooster made. Eventually he just gave up and hid away

This was interesting and funny! I am planning on getting chickens when I get to move into a more rural surroundings. Thank you!

Your voice reminds me of actress Geena Davis!🤩Great tips thank you! 👍🏻🙏🏻

Great and informative! Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you for this information. Being a new chicken owner, l found this to be such a great learning experience. Loved your natural environment set up for your chicken too

Such a great video!! I loved it

Incredible video!

Great video. Keep up the good work.

Love this video!!

Really informative thank you

Brilliant information, channel needs more attention from the algo!

People when on high alert: Stay dead quiet Chickens when on high alert: BUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

I enjoy your diction.

no sound examples on most calls.

My chicken has started doing the egg song but she’s never laid an egg, should I be worried?

These birds definitely have there own language. They are so funny.

I have a question, I’m new to chickens and unfortunately I was given a rooster instead of a hen, he pecks the hens is this normal? He doesn’t both me or my daughter.

Hi guys!I have question! I have rooster and he following me aroung and he dont scared of me but when i try to pet him he run away?my other chicken like that please someone help me

Chickens are funny 😂

i have a leghorn white hen she is always pecking me she sneaks up and dashes to peck my feet and she runs in while moving her head left and right its kinda ridiculous i have never seen any hen do that lol . i still don,t know why she is so rude to me especially that i raised her when she was a chick

Removing the head bullying chickens also works brilliantly.

It means that that the time of demons is over if your roaster makes the sound at 6am or 3am

I don’t bother my rooster, he keeps to himself and I respect that. They’re his hens and I just need the eggs.

So the Chicken that hangs out with the rooster more is like the deputy chook of the flock?

Chickens dig holes, dustbathe, and then lie in the holes splayed out as if dead. There is a myth that chickens dig their own graves and then die in them.

So annoying when sounds are described instead of actual audible examples.

I have a flock of 14 roosters .. lol.

Rooster crow at night when they see a angle... itz in the Quran.

I would have appreciated hearing *actual* chicken calls and the different ones they have at different circumstances, as well as seeing *actual* behaviors. Thumbs down.
