How do chicken communicate?

Answer 1

Chickens communicate both vocally and behaviorally. Squawking, clucking and a whole range of vocal communication comes from a flock. Even the crowing of a rooster has many different tones and pitches indicating different meanings to their vocalization.

Chickens also posture and behave in ways that have meaning to others of their species.

Roosters do a dance just before mating and hens indicate they are ready to mate with various movements recognized by the male. A young rooster will charge at an older bird but stop short of an attack with no response from the adult but based on behavior that same adult will counter the attack just by knowing when the young one is serious or not.

Answer 2

Chickens communicate through a variety of vocalizations, such as clucking, crowing, and squawking. They also use body language, like fluffing their feathers, to convey messages to each other within their flock. Additionally, they can use pecking or nudging to establish dominance or to signal aggression.
