My chickes make all kinds of noises. I have one that makes a whining noise for attention. They have a purring sound, the egg song and the cranky growl. I would just watch them, just to make sure they aren't sick. Interesting side note. I have a GLW that on occassion, very rarely, that crows. At first I thought she was coughing, but then I figured out that it was a hen's mimic of a crow. This is one of the reasons my husband and I moved a glider out by the run. Very interesting to watch them and listen. Number one, chickens do the craziest things and it's more interesting than TV. Number two, you learn all about pecking order. It's a good lesson in Sociology, with each chicken exhibiting some sort of personality trait and how each trait interacts with the others. Watching chickens is like a college class and cheaper.
