Doesn't she look like a he?

We call this hen "Roo-hen" cuz she looks like a boy in the face. She's also bigger then all the other hens. She's a girl though. Is this common? What's funny about it is our little banty hen has started crowing. You'd think this one would be the one to start doing that if any hen was going to. Does that mean she has more "male" hormones? Will she lay for a shorter period of time???

She's a handsome lady!

My son swears my BA is a rooster, even though she's been laying for 2 months...lol.

I have Attila the hen, who looks super manly

Attila is an absolutely gorgeous hen!


What variety of hen is she?

 

[Barry Natchitoches]

Roo-hen looks like she is capable of ruling the henhouse!


Is she alpha chicken in the pecking order?

I was told that if a hen crows she's the "boss" so that would make our banty the boss....although Roo-hen has been known to peck a bird out of a dust bath cuz she wants it. So I'd say she's right up there in the pecking order.

Attila is a beauty. She looks strong & protective, I wouldn't try stealing eggs from her nest!

I think I have 2 that look like roos, but they feathered out like girls, and act like girls.
