Help, my Buff Orpington is barking like a dog!

[SoCal Chicken Mama]

My nine month old Buff Orpington is barking like a dog! Has anyone every heard this before? I keep running outside, thinking my neighbor's chihuahua has gotten into my yard, but it's one of my chickens! She does not seem to be in any distress. I live in a residential neighborhood, and there are dogs all around. Could she be mimicking them like a parrot? I posted earlier about a weird wheezing coo my Easter Egger was making, but I have since decided this is just a normal chicken noise I'd never heard before. The others just talk to her when she does it. But barking? Is this normal?

I have never heard of that! I don't have any answers but I am interested in what other people might have to say about it.

If you take a video and upload it to YouTube you can post it here, then we can tell you if it is a normal noise or something to be worried about. Hope this helps!
