Not the one that is setting on eggs. And she started making real quiet whimpering sounds. Is this normal, if we had a puppy, I would have sworn it was it. She is across the room diagonal from the breeding pair of budgies. Link to comment

Her mate does not make the same sound weird. She is a very large hen lol, she dwarfs poor Ollie. She personally is my favourite as far as the hens go. She is the one that we took that picture of her after a bath. Link to comment

In the water it will work if the lack of iodine causes that thyroid type noise at night. Mineral blocks can be very hit and miss. Link to comment
