Chickens communicate both vocally and behaviorally. Squawking, clucking and a whole range of vocal communication comes from a flock. Even the crowing of a rooster has many different tones and pitches indicating different meanings to their vocalization.

Chickens also posture and behave in ways that have meaning to others of their species.

Roosters do a dance just before mating and hens indicate they are ready to mate with various movements recognized by the male. A young rooster will charge at an older bird but stop short of an attack with no response from the adult but based on behavior that same adult will counter the attack just by knowing when the young one is serious or not.

What causes a strange taste in chicken?

I don't think chickens have taste buds on their tongue, and probably judge the flavor of something based on smell. Like a dog. If you have ever been around a barnyard or chicken coop you might be able to understand why the chicken might experience a "strange taste". Chicken coops and barnyards really smell bad! Unfortunately it is not possible to ask the chicken why they may be experiencing a "strange taste". In fact it is rather difficult to tell if and when they do, unless you are particularly adept at observing chicken behavior. So until we are able to better communicate with chickens, we may never be completely sure.
