I'm new to chickens, so I beseech the help of the more experienced

Our Rhode Island Red just started laying a few days ago. She's always been a very noisy bird but has gotten sooo much noisier now she's laying. She's generally quiet until around 10am when she begins making a crying, painful sound and she goes in and out of the nesting box obviously wanting to lay an egg but having some kind of difficulty. This goes on for roughly 3 hours then she finally lays and is quiet the rest of the day

Is this normal?
 
She is singing you her egg laying song.

Oi!

She sounds so distressed and I bet it annoys the hell out of my neighbors. I have two others who are yet to lay too
