Confused Hen??

[silkieroo]

Just what i needed another "rooster".

So i have a hen that has started crowing which i know is not that uncommon for the dominate hen to go all roosterfied when theirs no rooster.So i wouldn't be concerned except for the fact that I have FIVE roosters!! And she is in the bottom of the pecking order!!

Here is the "hen" in question:

Any ideas why this is happening?? And has anyone else had this happen?? (And just to be clear i have watched her lay an egg so definitely a hen.)

i have no idea at all other than put her in the coop with the rooster for a day to make her realize that she is a hen unless its not a problem

Thank you for your input!!

I might try that if she starts mating with her sister.

You'll be ok. That is a Sebright hen and a very nice one at that. I had one of my hens crow before (definitely was a hen) so you have no need to worry. I had several roosters with her at the time too.
