Oh lol I have a few drama queens here. They scream all day long. Every time someone lays a egg they scream. If they go into the coop and look in the nest boxes they scream. About drives me nuts!
Drama queens is one word for it lol. I think mine are practicing for chicken idol. They cluck for an hour before they lay, a few times while their laying, an hour after. And once in a while they hide in the box then when I'm in there quietly cleaning in my own little world they cluck and scare the wits out of me then wonder out like "gotcha (explicit content)" sneaky little cluckers lol
 
I've had 2 broodies hatch in gp and only got 1/6 both times. But my current broody is seperated and doing so much better, don't want to count my chickens before they hatch but so far 5 have developed and 1 clear one. On day 8.
