1 year old Hen crowing???

[gerbie44]

My 1 year old Minorca "Caroline" lays eggs but today she is crowing too?!? Is this normal? My sister in law brought 5 other hens today also so I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. All birds are separated so they can get used to each other from a far. Is this a permanent thing? Thank you for any advice or answers that you can give me

My sisters hen was crowing last summer and then she stopped and hasn't done so again. Her flock mate had died and there were new pullets on the property. One was a cockerel and as he got older she seemed fine to let him take over the role and when he left and the pullets were old enough to go in the coop with her she was fine.

If she is the older hen she will take over roo's role until roo is old enough

Will she stop laying eggs?

Will she stop laying eggs?

She shouldn't stop laying.

She stopped crowing once she grew accustomed to the new chickens. She also laid beautiful eggs through the whole process. Thank you for your help
