Do hens crow?

[Gloworm57]

I noticed this morning that I have a supposedly hen that crows. I am not sure. I saw days ago that this particular hen is exceptionally tall and is only 4 months old. I was told that the 6 chicks were females. I do not want a rooster in the coop.

Do you have a picture? It's possible for hens to crow, but not usually under a year old. It also doesn't sound exactly like a roosters crow.

If it's possible, post a picture an upload a video of the crowing. You probably have a cockerel but, sometimes a pullet making noices to a new ear sounds like a crow. We need pictures of your pullet and a video of the noise. Make a YouTube video and upload the link so we can see it.

Sounds like a rooster. I have a crowing hen and her "crows" are like hen squaks just longer. Boys are normally taller and bigger plus they get redder combs and waddles then the girls.

Did you get the chicks from a hatchery of farm store?
Sexing of chicks is only about 90% accurate....
.....less if they may have been mixed up at a farm store.

I'm having the same issue. I have two 'hens' which crow every morning, getting me into trouble with the neighbor. I promised my neighbor that hens were not like roosters, and would be on the quiet side. Is there anything I can do to stop the crowing? They are both roughly 4 months old, and both seem to crow.
