When our chickens are making snoring, wheezing, or honking noises it can be quite scary. Everyone who has kept chickens is familiar with the variety of different noises they can produce. In fact, chickens can make between 24 and 30 distinctive sounds. Most of them signal various everyday activities, such as mutual communication, happy cackling when they lay an egg, grumbling and growling of a broody hen, or noises alarming of potential danger. So, a large majority of chicken calls are no cause for concern.
