Hen acting like a rooster

[lrayle]

I have been reading these post on the hens acting like roosters. I have a black A hen who went broody and now she has quit laying and is acting like a rooster to the younger hens. I see where they are a lot of opinions but no answers. My question is Is there anything out there that can make her a hen again so she can lay or she going to stay like this. Again I say this did not start until she went broody She is ten months and I know she is a hen because she was laying daily

How long has it been since she was broody?

 

[lrayle]

6 to 8 weeks

That's not very long. Hens stop laying while broody and won't start laying again until they are done raising their chicks. That can take up to 10 weeks from start of going broody, till they start laying again. It's also almost molting season which can delay the start of laying even more.

Does she need to o be separated from the others or will she right herselve

She'll be fine. Eventually she will start laying again. It's just a matter of time.
