    Very LOUD hen

    I'm assuming she's normal but WOW is she ever loud. Most of the day she squawks and makes lots of noise, nothing is wrong just wants to be heard i suppose. The other one never makes a peep. I'm thinkin all her noise makin helps to keep the dog away too! Any reason/ solution to quieting her?
