I desperately need help. This site has been so helpful to me in my 2 year experience with my chickens. I have not joined or posted until now. My 2 year old, dominique hen "Bruin" started clucking/screetching about 5 months ago after being attacked by a hawk. she was not injured physically, but mentally. The clucking has gotten worse; LOUD and CONSTANT, night/day, even while roosting and when I hold her and things are calm. We + neighbors are at wits end. I do not beleive this is "broody" as it has literally been months. She does not lay eggs or go into the egg box. She is normal + healthy in every other way. Sounds like a very loud, very nervous warning, not painful, not happy, not normal. We have stuck it out for many months and only gotten worse. She is my favorite hen, but even my patience is wearing thin. HELP
