Are my chickens stressed, angry, irritated?

Hello, recently I have been curious about sounds that chickens make. It has been a bit hectic since they haven't layed much eggs like they used to. We got some new hens about a month ago but even before they came, my hens still lay few eggs. Anyways, I have been hearing these sounds that I hear every day. It makes my think that they are stressed or not in a good mood. I gets me worried thinking that they are not satisfied or that something is missing. I found a video on YouTube with a sound that is similar, but with greater emphasis to the one I hear all the time. I wanted to upload a recording but wasn't able to so I provided a YouTube video. The sound that I hear is in the very beginning of the video. That sound starts at 0:00 - 0:10. Does anybody know what this sound means? :

I have two hens that make that sound when they want something... like for the gate to be opened so they can come out. We just call it whining.
I try not to give them what they want while they're making the noise so they don't get the idea to do it more. As soon as they hush for a minute or so we usually go ahead.

So, it is like a whining sound? Because my hens make that sound but with MORE emphasis? Like if they are angry.

That is a very familiar song that I’ve come to know as “get ur fluffy butt outta that box, I don’t care how many other boxes are empty…my egg is gonna be laid in THAT ONE. Period.”

Really? Cause they make this sound not only when they need to lay an egg but when it is time to sleep they make this sound in a high-pitched sharper vocalization.

YES, very similar to that
