Hey there,
This may be more of a medical problem but I don’t notice any real signs of sickness; reccently my nearly 4 year old Barred Rock hen has been crowing like a rooster. Approximately 3 days ago this commenced and she was laying an egg these past 3 days except for today. She’s extremely healthy for her comb and wattles are bright red. She’s very energetic despite the hesitation to eat her layer feed, only in the morning she does. I’ve researched sex changes in hens but it’s so odd, is she actually transitioning? Is crowing just a temporary thing? I read it could be from an infection in one of her ovaries is there a way to help it? I’ve also read of “henopause” but she was literally laying 3 days ago! Just want her to be okay.
Thanks,
