I love language but, as a city girl, I know nothing about chickens. I took notice (kind of laughed) when you said you heard a hen lamenting.
Is that the usual term used? What does a hen lamenting sound like?

I've never heard anyone else use the term, but chickens do have a language of their own. hedgehog Feb 2014 #2
