I have had too much experience in this situation than I would like to admit. I have just started out and aquired 4 Polish "hens" at about 2 month old. Out of the 4, 3 started to crow. Yes, the crests all started to go pointy and sparatic, but the one definate sign I saw were the saddle feathers...
I am so frustrated. I am just starting out in the chicken business so I have just acquired 6 new hens, I am only allowed 6 chickens per my land size. My city that I live in will not allow us to have roosters since the lots are smaller. Well turns out of my 6 "hens", 4 are crowing!! My neighbors...
