CHAPTER FOUR: Celebratory Cluck

Gertie needed a little privacy while she laid her eggs.  After she was finished, she shouted a celebratory cluck to mark her success. Watch the video below to hear what that shout sounds like.  Different calls and gestures help chickens communicate.  Make sure to watch the videos to see what the different calls mean.

The calls and gestures chickens make to communicate with each other.

"Now she stepped from the next box, gave that shout of triumph that all hens make after laying, and made her way out of the henhouse." (p. 38)
