He’s speaking about where on the piano… what NOTE the chickens are hitting when they cry! Just by listening, he’s guessing what notes their hitting.
AND HE GETS IT RIGHT!
He’s talking about solfege… like in the song from Sound of Music: Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do, singing a scale. Middle C on the piano is C4, the fourth octave. So when he says the 6th Octave, that means 2 Octaves above the fourth which would be High C. If he’s starting on C being Do… then 6th Octave Mi would be a high E… WHICH WHEN I CHECKED IS ACTUALLY WHAT SOME OF THE HIGHER NOTES WERE THAT THE CHICKENS WERE CRYING! Fifth Octave Sol would be a G sitting at the top of the staff in Trebel Clef (if going by this same thinking) and is only slightly lower than some of the lower pitches the chickens were crying.
He’s a nice guy.
Here’s a list of books and movies that have been alluded to in WINGS and You Never Walk Alone so far.

Snowpiercer (2013) Some of the lyrics and scenes from the MV are inspired by Snowpiercer. It’s about the remainder of humanity surviving on a train as there is a new ice age (caused by global warming).

I don’t know why the ancient Greeks have the reputation of being really classy and sophisticated because they are the same people who prosecuted a roof tile for falling on someone’s head
