The flock gets sight of a spot of blood on some chicken and they all go to peckin' at it, see, till they rip the chicken to shreds, blood and bones and feathers. but usually a couple of the flock gets spotted in the fracas, then it's their turn. and a few more gets spots and gets pecked to death, and more and more. oh, a peckin' party can wipe out the whole flock in a matter of a few hours, buddy, i seen it. a mighty awesome sight. the only way to prevent it—with chickens—is to clip blinders on them. so's they can't see.

But surely "argh" is the sound of a sort of strangulated scream. "aargh" is the sound of a stabbing, or a falling off a cliff. "arr" is, i think, the noise you're looking for. it's the noise pirates make when they don't have anything better to do. "arr, jim lad" = pirate noise. "aargh, jim lad" = sound of pirate falling off a cliff.
