The sound my hen makes

[Rollercoaster1]

Hens make different sounds from cackling to clucking, but there's one more hard for me to describe. I have a hen who, when feels hot spreads her wings a bit; her mouth remains open and tongue dancing up and down due to hot weather or thirst, makes a low rough sound. I tried to find videos regarding the sounds hens make, but unfortunately couldn't find the one I was looking for. If I suggest what the sound sounds like, it is as 'kaw kaw' with a bit stress on 'a', but not loud like a crow's. I am not sure if we can call that sound 'kaw' as it's also the sound crows make.

We don't have a word for that.

Wouldn't it be correct without 'that is'?

Wasn't the subject already understood?

...it is as 'kaw kaw,' with a bit of stress on 'a', but not loud like a crow's. I am not sure if we can call that sound 'kaw,' as it's also the sound crows make.

Why do we need commas?

It would be possible.


Wasn't the subject already understood?
No. The verb in the subordinate clause had no subject.

What about the third question in post 3?
