Bantam chicken - LOUD/WHINING

[merchans]

Good morning - I need help/advice......have a small bantam chicken, that starts "whining/being so loud" at 5:30am every morning......and goes on and on for a while...then she stops....and then again...she has water and food. It was not like that before.....also for a short while, she would lay in her nest all day without moving, sometimes days....and now she is very active, but would not stop whining.....need some feedback.....thank you.

My little girl does the same and has since we got her. She's teh .5 out of my 2.5 hens on our place. 9 times out of 10 my bantam is being LOUD because she's looking for her hen mates. Once she spots them across the pasture, she'll quiet down a bit. She's loud anyway though. She's a rescue though and was not raised with my other 2 hens. Sorry I can't offer any ways to get her to quiet down.
