Chicken Speak: What does she mean?

[CatBaaloo]

My two black sex link hensDiana Prince and Hippolyta both give this same call when I come out. It is one long bawk followed by three or four short ones. This may lead into several cycles of this pattern.

If this has already been addressed, please let me know where I can find the answer and accept my apologies.

Chickens have been known to name their owners. This may just be your chicken name and when they see you they will call out your name.

I wish we had chicken/English translation site to go to. I think if they are coming to you in a non threatening/happy to see you way, then that might be your chicken name.
Maybe something like "hey, it's the human that brings treats!"

Edit: I was typing when the last post was posted. Sorry to repeat.

That sounds like what my rooster says when he sees me....something like, Hey! it's the boss lady! And a few light flaps of the wings means, you're my leader. I see them do it to the higher ups, and to me.

Thank you all. This fits with her behavior but I was afraid I was missing something.
