hen-cackle

noun 2

Definitions

noun

1

A loud, sharp, or broken sound made by a hen, especially after laying an egg.

2

A shrill, loud, or raucous laughter or chatter, typically associated with women.

Doubtless there is a wider application of the term since a mere hen-cackle, a trifle, seems to have been the origin of the application.
