Default help with chicken talk

Hi all
we have had our chickens for nearly a year and most of the 'chat' i can understand... food here.. quick hide cat alert etcetc.
Our chicken ? black rock has started SQUAWKING very loudly if she is disturbed.... eg at bed time
She is laying well and is possibly middle of the pecking order so is she just being bolshy and trying to push heself forward and make herself heard.
I have checked her over and there doesnt seem to be anything physically wrong so any suggestions

Think I agree with lynda, or even maybe a pre-teen wanting to stay up "just 5 more minutes please Mum"
