Noisy hen needs a younger companion?

[chonsey]

what do you mean when you say the younger hen crows? I thought at first you meant that stress call hens can make where one starts up and they all join in, usually when they want something (to be let out to free range or to get treats). But it's unusual for a hen to make that kind of alert when free ranging.

You may have a opposum or racoon hanging around & making her nervous.

Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions.

"Crowing" was a bad word for what our girl is doing. I managed to catch on camera her making noise. You can't see her in the video, but she's down on the patio (probably) standing on the stoop. Her companion is standing in direct line of site under their coop.

It's not overly loud on the video, but trust me, it's quite noisy in person.

It's unfortunately reached the point where I have to consider giving my girls a new home. I'm just not in the best situation right now and think before I _have_ to get rid of them through legal order or something like that I should find her a better home where she can roam and squawk as much as she wants.

I doubt your neighbors even hear them. Any barking dogs in your area? I would get a few more!
