Weird sounding hen. Should I be worried?

[Revan]

Since it's something I've noted for awhile, and after losing my little rooster yesterday, I have decided to take no more chances with anything regarding my birds. So, I have about a 3 month old Cochin female. She looks healthy, and is active and alert. But...she doesn't sound like a chicken. She had the same little peeps as all the other chicks, but after she started to mature, her voice became rather hoarse, and screechy. 'Rrraaaack! 'Rraaaack!' Sounds rather like a hoarse version of a hawk or eagle screech. Quite loud too.

Is this a normal sound for some hens?

She's the only one that sounds like this. All the other chickens sound just like I am used to, clucking away.

Can you post a video of her?

I can try. She doesn't screech too often though.

Here's some pictures I took a couple weeks back:

Ugh...I tried taking a video of her, and she doesn't really make a sound at all. Just keep looking at me and tilting her head every which way. Probably too curious at what was going on.

Barely any comb and very small wattles. Looks like a hen to me. She's my only cochin, so comparing her to my other birds doesn't really mean anything as every breed is different.

I got 10 RIR Layers in may..thet r goin on 3 mo. Old...just this past week I realized on of my hens was a roo! My little seramas i can usually tell by 3wks. But these larger ones r maturing slower.

Looks like a pullet (hen) to me.

Without hearing it...I suspect she is getting her "big girl voice", they can make quite a bit of racket and sound a bit raspy - like we would after yelling/cheering at a football game. I don't see anything concerning, eyes nice and clear, no crusty nostrils, comb and wattles look good
