Have you ever heard a chicken sing the “egg song”? It’s the tune hens proudly belt out after laying an egg, often leading the rest of the flock to join in and celebrate. But for Cookie the Silkie, there’s only one audience that matters: her human mom, Meg.

Make sure your sound is on so you can hear Cookie’s egg song, which she sings on a loop until Meg comes to find her and properly “validate” all the hard work that goes into laying an egg. Is it dramatic? According to Meg, yes, it is. And the sweetest part? It’s the way Cookie comes running the second she spots her mom!

Meg shared in the caption, “Cookie will literally sing her egg song until I come praise her for her hard work. Such a drama queen LOL! But we love her!”

Funny Reactions to Cookie Needing Her Mom’s Validation

Viewers had lots to say about how adorable Cookie is and about her need for validation. @cindy8508 cracked us up when she shared, “Also, this is my husband when he does something small around the house. LOL!” We can totally relate to that comment!

@ur_kellynn_me pointed out, “Lol, she just wants a little appreciation!” @trueschatzi agreed, “Ha!! She wants to be acknowledged for all her hard work!” Meg replied, “She’s just us LOL!”

One grouchy commenter couldn’t resist saying, “I would hate to be your neighbor…” @cheftim_m wasn’t having it, though, “It’s literally 10 seconds a day, and it’s a proud animal. You most likely wouldn’t hear it 95% of the time. But everyone just has to pass along negativity.”

@chicadee asked, “How grand, Cookie! What breed is Cookie?” Meg replied, “She is a Pekin Bantam Frizzle!” @kiransoniatk replied, “That’s just the best breed name ever!” @sparklemehappy agreed, “That’s the most adorable breed name. It’s almost a Hogwarts-sounding name for something in Zonko’s. LOL!”

Viewer @mallrazan shared, “We have a saying in Malay, Ibarat bertelur sebiji, riuh sekampung. It means desperately seeking attention for something as simple as laying an egg. Haha!”

It’s the perfect comment for Cookie’s need for validation!
