Can hens have spurs?

[Neeci84]

My babies are around 7 weeks old and I noticed one had a little bump on the back of its leg. Now this one I'm pretty positive is a hen, so I checked the legs of some of the others and they have it too, but I know some of them are hens because they were sexed when I got them. What is this bump forming?

 

[DragonGirls]

Yes, perfectly normal for pullets/hens to develop spurs

 

[Gray Farms]

Yes. Spur bumps are not an accurate indication of sex

 

[ChocolateMouse]

yes

 

[black_cat]

Yep! Hens can have spurs as well.

 

[Fuchsia]

Like the others said yes, they can have spurs.

I have a hen with a full spur on one leg.

Yes, both cockerels, & pullets can have spurs.

Although at 7 weeks neither your pullets or cockerels have spurs.
Both sexes get the spur buds.

A relative has a hen with one long spur.
