Subject: RE: BS: Hens talking to eggs
Maybe it's part of her instinctive behaviour that hasn't been bred out.
I think reasearch has found that babies start to learn language before birth, so maybe chicks start to recognise their mum. Not that I've noticed mine talking to the eggs, maybe it's because I don't open the coop if one's inside.

I do enjoy their language though.
