Homie VERY vocal todayocassionally Homie will vocalize several different sounds but today has been doing this one noise over and over sometimes for 5 or 6 minutes at a time... It's half way between a moan and a growl and she does it with her head down, her front puffs up and she does it over and over rrrrrrr, rrrrrrr, rrrrrrr, rrrrrrr....
I tried to get video of it but my camera wont pick up the sound very well although I can hear it pretty loudly

Hi Everyone,
I just had to add here, my young hen does this all the time...the Grrrr, Grrrr'ing. The sound is more like a moan though. It's higher pitched than her dad's but it lasts longer, is more intense and WAAYYYY LOUDER! LOL She sometimes compliments these sounds with alternating chicken clucks; BAK, BAK, BAK.

Yup, Brad, that's what I was thinking! Of my three hens, two growl and grunt and moan w/out much theatrics. The third growls, grunts and moans for extended periods of time as it suits her. She fans tail, bows and does her version of the little "I'm in the mood foot work". Of course, it doesn't nearly have the drama that a cock bird would have....just her version. I'm thinking that Homie might like Photokev

Don't want to give any false hopes, Kev, but Chickpea calls from her box whenever i am in the aviary until I go and give her a preen, when she will then lie down and coo blissfully. She will also coo and turn circles sometimes. We were sure she was a he, until 'he' laod eggs after a fling with one of the dominant males
