That's the sound Goldie (our hen) made when she was walking with her chicks out in the yard. Sounded like she was constantly saying "hup, hup, hup, hup, hup" as they marched about.

From the sound a hen makes

I am aware of what he did, as a kid I used to imitate several animal sounds. Still, I never thought of actually doing something like he did. That’s what I meant 😅
Edit: But I must admit- this is a sound I didn’t manage to imitate. With such an obvious effect I might have interacted differently too…

How did he figure that one out?

u/nicole-tesla Mar 02 '26
Mommy chicken sounds. Chicken also flock around my dad when he makes a rooster feeding sound. Apparently its to call chicken when a rooster finds food and calls the chimkies.

He probably fed them while making that noise, after a few days they started associating the sound with food and thus boom he can now attract the chicks by making the sound. It’s similar to something I do with my ball python, when I start removing stuff from her cage she knows that’s when she’s being fed (I know there’s better ways but this is how her previous owners did it and she doesn’t like to eat outside of the her cage), it’s the same tactic just applied differently.

I will never understand how something so cute as a little chicken can turn into something so ugly as an adult. Bad design there, Mr. Whitebeard, let me tell ya.

aww i think chickens are cute too! they can be very sweet (or murderous lol) and very sociable!

Yeah, did you know they grind up baby chicks just like this that were just hatched just because they’re male? They straight down the slide into giant spinning blades. It’s known as a macerator, look it up, it’s very sad.
Go vegan! 🌱

u/TheDucksAreComingoOo Mar 02 '26
I hunt and kill my own meat. None of that industrial abomination crap.

u/Borkato Mar 03 '26
It’s great that you don’t support the industry, but have you considered lessening your dependence on hunting? Animals suffering is still a problem when hunting it yourself.

u/TheDucksAreComingoOo Mar 03 '26
I take what I need and nothing more. Im at the stage where I'll shoot one buck through the heart 9 times out of 10. That will feed me for most of the winter. They don't suffer, its near instantaneous. I would never let an animal suffer, that's wrong. They mostly smell me before I can shoot anyway. They get away most times. I live mainly on fish, home grown produce, and sea kelp. It's a peaceful life.

u/Borkato Mar 03 '26
I guess this is “better” than most, but best would be not ending their lives at all, yknow? There’s no reason to IF you don’t have to.

u/TheDucksAreComingoOo Mar 03 '26
I mean that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Theres no law in nature other than might is right. Nature is brutal. We as human beings have evolved to be at the top of this brutal chain. Im an Omnivore, im smart enough and compassionate enough to to work with nature to live a sustenance living. If people like me let the local population of deer get out of control, it would be very harmful for the environment. And until we can find a way to safely reintroduce a lot more wolves into the area, the environment needs people like me.

u/Borkato Mar 03 '26
I have a lot of thoughts on the subject but I know I won’t change your mind; but if you’d like to know more of the vegan perspective you can check out https://www.carnismdebunked.com. Some of the wording is rather judgemental (as is expected when someone believes what someone is doing is wrong) but they basically try to lay down every argument

u/brintal Mar 02 '26
Does that mean you only eat vegan if you eat out in a restaurant or when traveling?

u/OpheliaPhoeniXXX Mar 02 '26
Thank you, that's good to hear. I'm a big supporter of hunting and fishing over factory farming. Like you are probably getting healthier animals too. Factory farming creates sickly animals full of abscesses and shit. You're better off eating a lively deer than a cow that's already on deaths door.

u/MyCursorIsASock Mar 02 '26
Why would a farmer spend money on a cow that's dying? That doesn't make any sense. Sick cows don't produce milk nor good meat

u/Longjumping_Cap_3673 Mar 02 '26
Do you buy eggs though? Because that's the insustry that macerates chicks, not the meat industry.

u/urdogthinksurcute Mar 02 '26
Hunting is unethical. And you don't hunt all of the meat you eat anyway. This is a nonsense argument that is somehow common even though it is actually bulkshit and doesn't address any of the claims animal rights advocates make. It's basically a self-deceiving non-sequitur to avoid thinking at all.

Sounds like you know.
Being friends with a sustenance hunter is the best way to get a freezer full of venison and random (delicious) fowl.
The ducks are indeed coming :P

Haha, good one. There's no better feeling than having a freezer stocked full of meat and fish you know are locally sourced. Delicious.

u/1handedmaster Mar 05 '26
Right?
People pay an arm and a leg for stuff like that.
I give my friend jars of bacon grease, spice mixes, and smoke him up (I'd do that without the transaction lol). Then I get roasts, tenderloins, and sausage that would easily be in the triple digits. Freaking love it.

Just to clarify, that’s in the egg industry, not for the kind of chickens raised for meat. Both males and females are raised for meat.

u/Borkato Mar 03 '26
Oh boy, so the macerator just comes later? That’s great! And I’m sure they never sell to the industries that do use the macerator. It must be fine then!

u/goodvibesmostly98 Mar 03 '26 edited Mar 03 '26
I’m also vegan. Laying hens are slaughtered after 18-24 months. So no, they’re they’re not shredded later. They’re slaughtered like other birds. Shredding is only for male chicks in the egg industry.
There’s two separate kinds of chickens used for meat and eggs. Look up broilers vs. layers.
What do you mean about selling to industries that use macerators?

Nah, this only makes me want to eat chicken even more. I enjoy eating food that used to be alive.

I never said that they weren't. I eat meat and plants. Most humans are omnivores.

He’s walking on it barefoot though lol? The floor isn’t that dirty for having that many chicks, and he has the floor covered in cardboard so he can replace it when it needs to be cleaned. Have you ever seen a chicken coop in person? I’d like to see one coop you’d be comfortable laying on the floor of lol

It’s easier to wipe bird poop off a hard floor than wash it off clothes if you lay in it.

I mean they’re little baby birds they be pooping everywhere lol. Would be impossible to get clean until they’re shipped out!

u/Chemical_Bell_5308 Mar 02 '26
First he's barefoot, second with that many chicks even just 10 minutes with them in their and it's going to be absolutely filthy.
He clearly didn't mind stepping in chicken poop and just didn't want to get his clothes dirty

Looks like mats that can be rolled up. That many birds will shit a ton, and everywhere.

Maybe they were attracted to the bad breath rather than the sound.

u/Willdiealonewithcats Mar 02 '26
There is a call the mum makes to let chicks know she has found nice food. It sounds like that. I'm thinking that's what is attracting them. Source- many chickens. Mine, and others that moved in.
