My 1 1/2 year old Buff Orp hen has started to crow! It started 2 weeks ago with a sick-sounding two-syllable crow, but has now developed into a full-blown cock-a-doodle-doo. The bird's comb has also become big and bright red. I have kept my hens on natural light this past few months to allow them to molt and have a break from egglaying. Since then all of my other bird's combs have become dull in color, as is normal. How strange is this orp? I plan on switching my birds back to artificial light with a timer soon. May I expect this confused bird to return to its normal egg-laying self?
