I have two cackle EE that I got from the feed store as sexed pullets. One was yellow the other a light blue. Both had very pale chipmunk stripes. Anyway the blue was always bigger than EVERYONE else and was a boss from day 1. I just knew she was a roo but she gives me an egg every day religiously. She's still bigger than everyone, especially her sister, she has long tale feathers (they are NOT pointy, just long and arch a little), and mounts all the other hens. She's like a she male. I've heard of hens taking on male traits and hormones over time and I keep thinking she's doing that. I keep waiting for her to crow at some point.:th

The only hens that I have had that tried to crow were Bantam Mottle Cochins - two of them tried crowing!!! I thought I had all roos for a couple weeks and almost went into a deep depression!

Interesting. I have never had a chicken with spurs before. She's never used them, thank goodness. I'm pretty sure she is too stupid to realize that they're there.

I have seem many people mention spurs on Welsummer hens.
I had no clue about hens getting spurs until my hen did.
