Another Hen Crows!

I have heard of hens crowing and have explored the threads about this, but never thought I would witness it.

This morning, 30 minutes before sunrise I thought I heard a dog barking. Rushed out to check on my 2 yo hens, and the #1 gal was in the run crowing. She flapped her wings and let go several loud crows. There was no dog or predator around or any evidence of a threat that I could find. Guess she was just the wake up for the other gals or maybe she did hear some danger and scared it off?

Even at 2 years old, the girls keep surprising me. Every day is a new adventure!

My son has a little black Silkie hen that crows on occasion. She shocked a bunch of people who heard her during a show.

If shocked me, still ROFL!

When I was planning my flock one of my neighbors hoped I planned to get a rooster, she wanted to hear crowing. Hope she heard it this morning.

When ours did it at a show there was a few people standing around and one was a man who looked at us in shock and said are you sure that's a hen. I told him I swear she is. She lays eggs

Would love to have been there and seen his face.

She crowed again this morning, maybe this is an everyday event I have been missing?
