My Blue Polish Hen Likes to Scream

[BrahmaMom1797]

I honestly just want to know why my polish girl screams, she’s not laying, she’s just barely getting close to starting; but she is a little bratty. Is it behavioral or natural in Polish birds?

It isn't necessarily a breed trait. It seems to be more of an individual thing. Most screams are warning screams. Can she see well? If her sight is impeded it could cause more panicky behaviors in polish. Otherwise many sexually maturing hens become very vocal before the start of lay. I would assume it's the hormonal surges and new sensations.
