My chickens are screaming at me?

[Koldham]

New chicken tender here, i really dont know anything. so over the past week or so every time i go outside or approach the coop my chickens "scream" at me. They used to do it when my girlfriend forgot to top off the water or food before she left for work but now they are screaming all the time. i thought it was because there pen was to small and they were bored. i recently installed an 80sq ft run and they seem to have had a blast digging and stuff. I threw some old stumps and they like finding the bugs in it and standing on them. Well the still scream at me when I go outside. The only other thing it may be was my local tractor supply was out of crumble food so I had to buy pellet food, same brand. Could they be upset about the food change? should I change back or will they get over themselves if i dont? They empty the feeder in about the same time as when they had crumbles

Sounds more like an alarm call. Is one bird doing it or multiple birds?

My birds will often start talking the minute I walk in the shed because they are excited to get some fresh food and water.

Mine get excited and chatty every time they hear the screen door. They are just certain I am bringing them treats or going to let them out of the run.

Perfectly normal - mine all get very excited every time I walk out the back door. Squawking chattering and screaming too lol! They know who loves and cares for them
