i was wondering i have a tom who gobbles obviously but then i have 2 hens who do a call that consists of about 5 chirps. i was wonder i notice babys do this to i have 3 month old bourbon reds. and 2 i notice do this 5 chirp call and 1 just sits there doing nothing could it be a male. and the other 2 be female?

I have poults that will make that 5 note call. But seems more often than not those that made it turned out to be toms.

They seem to do it when older birds gobble or startled.
