Wavy yelp

[GobbleNut]

I have 25 Eastern hens. So far in 4.5 years of being around 300-400 hens in that time there have been 3 hens that have made the wavy yelp. One of them is like a pet. She will fly up on my knee when I sit down. She is on her second nest currently. Hatched 13 3 weeks ago. Anyway she does this wavy Yelp very often and I often try to imitate her. When I do the boys seem to like it and respond most often. It really is more like a yodel in between yelps.

Bourbon Red hens often make this yodeling sound as well. They actually have a reverse Yelp that stats low and ends high sometimes.

That's pretty cool!....Would really be interesting to hear those sounds if you could create a sound file and post it.

Yeah could be described as a whine, but that's what I think of when someone talks about a wavy call.

You talking about that drawn out yelp that some fellows make when they start a series of yelps on a box call?

What I'm talking about is much more of a yodel.

I agree if you took the yodel in the middle out it would have the same tone as a plain yelp.

I did find where Will Primos references the "wavy call' as the same as whine. Not the call I heard but I can see where guys see it as such. Similar to the whine in the you tube video posted here.
