Why is my chicken so NOISY

[Chickensarecool123]

My buff Orpington chicken is currently 22 weeks, no egg yet- but today she was the noisiest she’s ever been, this morning Crazy I tell you, for a good 5-15 mins she was making the loudest BAWK-bawk-bawk-BAWK-bawk-bawk, then 40 mins ago and then now, we have a noise thing in our area so if it’s too loud we get fined or smth, she is by herself majority of the day when we cant bring the chicks outside, but she does look a tad bit spooked, when se makes that noise we check EVERYWHERE- yet nothing, do you guys know what is going on?
Thanks in advance

Pullets often get more vocal as they are getting closer to point of lay. She's probably quite close to laying so keep an eye out

I live in a neighborhood and do have a permit to have my chickens, but when they first start to lay the noise they make i stress over. The good thing is, it all calms down. They more than likely won't be so loud once they get in their routine.

My Buff is the quietest, mildest chicken ever, normally just making a low gentle honk honk honk sound, EXCEPT when she’s laying, before and after.

Is yours showing other signs of readiness to lay? -red face/ comb/ wattles, squatting, puttering in nest boxes and rearranging the bedding?

- many pullets don’t do all of these, but any of them are signs that she might be getting ready.

Everything but squatting

Sounds like she’s close. Post a pic of the first egg!

Same, I have one Buff Orpington pullet that's currently laying and she sings all about for twenty minutes. I'm like just lay the damn thing and shut up about it! She gets the cockerels riled up and they start crowing, then the other pullets have to chime in, lol. I'm glad my neighbors don't seem to care, lol.

Oh yeah. I have one that can just about get the whole crew screaming. No neighbors, thankfully. Sometimes her whole message is: I THOUGHT (bwaaak) I was gonna lay an egg but I DIDN'T (bawbwaak) so I'll have to come back LATER (bwaaak) and you all won't BELIEVE (bababwaaaak) what a big beautiful egg I'ma gonna lay THEN (bwaaak) you'll just have to come and SEEEE (bawaaaak) .... and so on and so forth with the background chorus all yelping, Tell us more, tell us more! (Bwaawk, bwak, bwak, bwak!)

Don’t forget the: I came BACK (bwaak), but someone is in MY NEST (babwaak), and those empty and identical nests right next to it are COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE (bababwaaaaaaaak), and furthermore the new young pullets are in the coop and WATCHING ME (bawkbawkbawkbawkbwaaaak)!!!!

... and now I don't need to (bawaaak) ... and did I already? (Bwaakbwaak)...

It goes on and on. And on, sigh!
