My hen talks to her eggs. Just a few little cheepy sounds and then she leaves them with nary another thought. She's not into motherhood at all and the eggs are not fertile anyway. I once witnessed the same thing with my neighbour's hen. She leaned over the nest and cheeped at her eggs for a few minutes before she left them.
I know chickens cheap from inside eggs. That observation turns up in folklore as in "...a chicken when it's piping it has no bone..."
But I can't find out about hens conversing with eggs.
I know I could go to a site devoted to chickens but I like it here.
Has anyone else witnessed this?
Cheers, Joy
