This is my first year for chickens and I have ten 8 weeks old birds. They all sound like what I would guess hens to sound like, gentle sounds and the occasional louder cluck or squawk, but one of my Rhode Island Reds sounds like a duck. Might this mean she isn't really Lucy, but perhaps Lester? There is no noticeable difference in the development of the comb, etc
 
You should post a picture of her in the Gender/Breed section and let the folks take a look. They are really good at this sort of thing.

I have a female silkie that when alarmed quacks like a duck. First time I heard it about fell over laughing. She still quacks out her alarms.

One male cockeral that is a Dominique x Australope cross that sounds like a goose. What is really funny is his first crow sounded like a goose trying to crow.
