Have any of yall ever had a hen that crows?

I have a 3 year old lakenvelder that is 100% an egg layer.

A couple weeks ago one of my mean hens got ahold of her and I had to bring her inside to doctor her comb for a few days and during the 5 days I had her inside doctoring .her she crowed 3 times that I witnessed.

She sounded just like a rooster and arched her neck..the whole 9 yards..exactly like my roosters.

At the time I had to banty roosters quarantined because they were being super aggressive with then hens,so they were also inside crowing.

I've never had it happen before and I have and have had alot of chicken over the years.

If someone told me.they'd witnessed a hen crowing I'd have thought they were high.

Any of yall ever seen a hen crow before?

Was she watching TV while she was inside? The liberal commercials probably turned her Trans, js.

I have never heard or seen anything like that! I wonder if there is a small percentage of hens that crow for some reason or if yours is just seriously confused.

My mamaw had a hen that crowed when i was was young. If i remember correctly she was either a part game hen or a banty. Seems like i have heard an old saying that goes something like " a crowing hen comes to no good end"

Have had some hens try to crow, have a few that even have spurs,

Yep she identifies as a rooster so quit picking on her

I had one that crowed. It was pretty funny. Out of tune.

I have one now like that. She even mounts the other hens. Raised in an all hen environment until now. I have a few rooster pullets in the fence now. When they come of age, she's going to get a surprise.

Never had one crow, no

How many chicken genders are there?

As many as you want we’re putting one on a Bud Light can

I've had Buff Orpington hens that would "change" into butch hen "roosters". One at a time as the last one passed on, They'd crow, grow spurs, and act like a rooster, Very strange and I've never seen or heard of it before....

I have one that will tryn crow, it's a heck of a racket, but it does resemble a crow, she's top on the pecking list.

Cathryn, that does happen occasionally. I've read numerous articles about hens crowing. Here's a short one that covers a few causes.

You probably don't need to go get a rainbow flag for your coop yet!

I had a light Brahma hen, that previously laid, molt out into rooster plumage with hackle feathers on her neck, a saddle and sickle feathers at the tail. She started crowing and fell over dead when crowing, while I was in the barn. Something must have gone wrong hormonally in her.

Or....a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket.

What Pronouns does that Hen go by?

Cathryn sounds like just another hen with pecker envy.

Catherine, or her chicken?

Cathryn, you gonna take her in for Gender surgery?? I would just take her as Original Flavor or Extra Crispy.
