Hens typically make a clucking sound, which can vary in pitch and intensity depending on their mood or the situation. They may also emit soft cooing sounds, especially when they are content or communicating with their chicks. Roosters, on the other hand, are well-known for their distinctive crowing, which serves to establish territory and attract hens. They may also make other sounds such as cackles or whistles to communicate different messages.

Yes. Roosters have many different vocal sounds. A reassuring clucking sound is common for roosters to make.
I do not eat hens or roosters.
A term rooster is used for the male bird (the hen is a female bird) of certain species . There are chicken roosters and hens, pheasant roosters and hens, turkey roosters and hens etc. Ducks are drakes and hens. Geese are the "Goose and the Gander".
Well, hens are girls and roosters are boys...that cover it?
No. Hens will lay more when there is less stress put on them, and having roosters - especially too many per hen, too large of a rooster, aggressive roosters, etc - will cause the hens a lot of stress.
It is likely that the roosters are aggressive, too rough with the hens, or that there are not hens in ratio to the amount of roosters.
Hens
The amount of roosters needed for breeding hens is about one rooster per ten hens
You can tell a roster apart from a hen by their physical characteristics. Roosters typically have larger combs, wattles, and spurs than hens. They also tend to have longer and more colorful feathers, and they often have a more upright and pronounced posture compared to hens. Additionally, roosters are known for their crowing, while hens typically do not make as much noise.
