Have 10 week old BR/BA x(not that breed matters?) but she makes a different sound. I DID have gapeworm a few yrs ago in a hen and that sounded like a cough. This is just a conversational sound(altho the other chickens sound NORMAL when talking)and hers is more of a honk. So name is "honky chic" now and I was trying to avoid any of them being truly unique when their time is up. I can maybe try to look up some simalar sounds on Youtube?
 
Responding to myself. Could find nothing on youtube that was simalar but someone made reference to their 10 wk. old chix voices changing. Have had chickens for 9 yrs. and don't recall them making THIS sound.
 
I have a couple of 3 month old, mixed bantam hens that make what I'd call a honk sound too.

It startled me the first time I heard them!
 
Well..the more I look up on HERE "voice changing" the more I see that they DO have a voice change period. I have never paid close enough attention until THIS chick started her strange honk. Will be interesting over the next couple of weeks now that I KNOW to pay attention.
