I do believe they talk because they are happy!She does all day long!I often wonder what she's chattering about and what the other ladies think of her. They don't seemed bothered by her thankfully.
Maybe she's singing???
I had a pair, two sisters that hung out together all their lives, they talked constantly ALL day long. I'm not sure what they were talking about other than coop gossip? 
They are gone now, I REALLY miss their chatter.
What a cutie!
Amazing photography!!!

Here's the same hen today, she's all filled in and ready for the -20c forecasted next week.
Thanks for sharing her! (I combined your posts here.)
Bertie's look for Halloween is scaring the silkies!
Most of mine have done soft molts so far, this is my worst so far this year.
She manages to look pretty offended.
Cinder, my Easter Egger.
Story time! Once upon a time, my mother called me up in a panic, asking me if her chicken was going to die because it had lost all its feathers. I am extremely ashamed to admit it was an amused eye roll moment for me as I told her the bird was probably molting. A couple years later and I've been paid back in full for laughing at my mother, because when I walked outside and saw Cinder like this my first thought was, "Oh cheese, what the heck happened to my bird!?" I nearly had a heart attack. I was searching for signs of a predator/flock attack, plucking, or a major worm load before coming to the conclusion that it was just a molt. I hadn't realized I'd never experienced a chicken going through a truly ugly molt before. My poor Mom; now I know exactly how she felt!
Not sure if this is WHERE you post. (New to this.) But this is one tough chicken, and this seems to be a ROUGH molt for her this year. Haha. I call her "Red" or "Nubs" (despite my best efforts, she got frostbite really bad last year) , but my kids call her "Eagle."Behold:
