Our local meetup group (STL) has been talking a lot lately about loud hens. We started a Google poll to see if we can spot any breeds that are especially noisy. If you have a noisy hen, take the poll and we'll see if any good info comes out of it...

Thank you everyone for putting my mind at ease, two of our chicks just started doing this and the first hit on google was gapeworm. Freaked me out, good to hear that it might just be run-of-the-mill chicken weirdness.
