Hens with spurs! Post your pics!!

[Sunny Chicks]

My Ameracauna hen, Nyra, certainly has some nice spurs! They've grown a lot this past couple weeks.

Anyone else's hens have some impressive spurs?

Those are impressive. She is doing better than my roosters.

Wow, how old is your hen?

I've never had a hen grow spurs, but I have had a hen who crowed!
She took on the role of crowing after she was in isolation after an injury. Once she was returned to the flock months later, the crowing stopped.
I guess she just wanted to test out her vocal chords!

Enjoy your birds!

I might have a hen with spurs... It's an EE, and all of my roosters try to mount it....I totally thought it was a hen til I noticed that it had spurs. so, now I've changed the name from precious to shaggy lol. So now you have me wondering if its a hen or a roo.


Not a good pic...but I can see the spurs. roo or hen?

Hmmm the color on that one says boy to me. Still pretty, though.

Does a crowing hen sound different than a rooster?

Her crow was very deep and lacked the correct amount of syllables. When I had first heard it, I rushed over to see my hen, thinking she had something lodged in her throat and she was choking.
It took me a few days to realize she was crowing and not dying.
