Pullet making 'chipmunk sounds when other pullet approaches nesting box

[rosemarythyme]

Several of mine make annoyed sounds if another hen tries to oust them from the box they've chosen, or if they're even wandering around too close. The "go away" sounds I've heard aren't like the sounds a broody would make.

Sounds like ‘I’m occupying this one.... I’ll whip you if you’re even thinking of coming in here’
Mine do it something terrible

Yes!!

Exactly!
Pretty typical for most birds.
