I must be lucky. None of my 8 girls are screechers, at least not very often. Every now and then there's a squawk when Greta picks on Minerva or Millicent because one of them got "in her space" but that's about it.
However, Matilda and Bernadette just talk and talk and talk all day long. Bernadette HAS to tell me everything going on. Matilda will move on to another part of the run, then suddenly come running back with something else to tell me, squawking the whole way, then quieting down to conversational buk-buks when she gets back to me. Bernadette keeps up the running commentary. Follows me everywhere, sits in my lap if I rest in the chair inside the run, chatting away the whole time.
Carl, the roo, brags about his conquests and responds to another rooster somewhere in the 'hood.
The first time I actually heard the "egg song" I thought something awful had happened, and I ran outside to see what predator had made it through the defenses..... WHAT was in the coop!!??!!
Rebecca, laying an egg. Oh.
Greta is louder and longer about laying her eggs.
But no screechers. There are four chicks in the brooder; hope none of them turn out to be screechers! (RIR, BR, and 2 Welsummers.)
