Noisy Australorps?

[Jraebush]

We've always had a mixed flock - mostly RIRs with a good splattering of Black Australorps. When they are all mixed in it's kind of hard to tell who is raising cane - but I think after 3 years of having a backyard flock we have finally nailed down the real talkers and noise makers to the Australorps - more of a process of elimination.

To understand my complaint, if you want to call it that, a person who didn't know any better would think we had a really noisy flock of geese or ducks, where in comparison to the RIRs seem to make little noise at all.
Again, in comparison, and everything is relative

Anyone out there with Australorps who can confirm or refute this?

My 4 hens are into everything. Very busy and they call out to me in a voice I have never heard in chickens. Like a loud chortle
