She did try...but I think she was shooting blanks because Obelisk's eggs weren't fertile even though Slifer did ejaculate...sorry about TMI

I have a 2.5yo hen who did the same thing...often crows in the morning, maybe kinda herds the flock when alarmed.I have a 5 year old hen who recently went through molt and now acts like a rooster at times and crows when first let out of the coop in the mornings. She also "clucks" the other hens in when feeding. I haven't noticed any other physical change in her feather pattern or spurs on the legs. Will she ever go back to laying eggs or stop crowing?
Mine is now head hen, I believe.....change happened after 2 other highest ranking birds died and younger birds got close to POL.She could have had a shift in hormone level, or simply taken over as matriarch in an all female flock. Not unusual.
Maybe...tho I have a cockbird same age as crowing hen.Someone told me to introduce a mature rooster to the flock and it will pull the hen out of it. Have you ever heard that? Only problem is there's a reason I don't have a rooster....they crow and chase tail all day.
