I'm in a similar situation.
One of my hens (about 18 months old) has started squawking VERY VERY loudly mid-morning. I think it's after she lays an egg, but it goes on for 30+ minutes and its LOUD!
I wouldn't describe this as a "song" like the other girls. This is more of an alarm squawk and it quite disturbing to hear.
If I go outside, she gets distracted and runs over to me. And she stops squawking. But if I don't go outside - or if I am away from the house, so keeps going for a very long time (my neighbor told me about it)
AWK AWK AWK AWK AWK AWK - with no change to the tone or pitch.
Any ideas how to stop it?
