Hen acting like a rooster.

[Birdnerd04]

Hi guys. We have a chicken that acts like a rooster. She will try to mount the other hens, attacks the rooster, dances, crows, and will tell everyone when she finds food. Just wanted to know what I should do. She gets picked on by the other girls, but other than that seems fine. She is a Wyandotte and lays eggs with the other girls. Thanks!

Can I see a picture of her?

Pictures would help but if she does that then she probably isnt a she. Also what breed is it?

 

[Birdnerd04]

She is a Wyandotte and lays eggs, so I know she is a girl.

I will also try to get a picture posted.

Hi all, I just ran into something similiar with 1 of my hens. I have a flock of 30 including 3 roosters. First I'm 110% sure she's a hen, lays eggs, and everything. She's around 9 months old. She does a chicken dance at the other hens although not as refine as the roosters. I caught her 3 times doing this. The first time I seen it I thought she stumbled or lost balance.

She would randomly tidbit the other hens. I've never seen this except with hens that are raising chicks. She doesn't crow thank goodness.

Hey guys! sorry I never posted a picture, I think our chicken is fine though. She hasn't danced or crowed in about 2 months.
