Crowing hen

[ktruelove89]

I have a black cochin hen that is trying to crow. Why is she doing this? It's a really funny crow though. It's my first time here so, I hope I am doing this right.

Kathy mother of 8 hens, 4 black cochins and 4 production reds and two roosters. Plus three dogs. Help!!!

Are you SURE it's a hen? You might want to post a picture of "her," just to be sure.

I'm not sure how to post an image yet. I'm new to all of this.

My bantam cochin hen crowed and tried mating in the PRESENCE of a roo lol and yes she was indeed a hen...seen her lay MANY eggs

We had a polish bantum hen that crowed in the mornings and we thought she was a roo till she started laying eggs. She was the only bantum in a bunch on ameraucanas so there was no doubt they were her eggs!

Oh and BTW, many here thought she was a he as did I for a while until she laid her first egg
