Hen? Crowing?!

[SBFChickenGirl]

I’m taking more

Well, she looks like a pullet.... so she's just going to crow. She may not lay eggs, and may grow male feathering. Or she could crow and lay eggs. Totally a "wait and see" type thing.
She's an adorable little floof.

That is so cute.

Thanks!

Thank you! We don’t mind her not laying eggs, as long as we get to keep her!

Is she laying? She could of changed genders.

She is not a rooster.... believe me we thought so too! Her crowing is horrible! She sounds like a goat, and that’s complimenting it! She has no Spurs not even stubs! And she has horrible posture, unlike the roosters they had lots of it!

I’m horrible at sexing silkies; I’m very interested to see what others have to say. She / he is super cute though.

Although this has happened before, it’s not common at all and highly unlikely.

She is not, we read into that but it says she should lay eggs at 7 months so we’re hoping by then!

I have had hens crow before, even with a rooster in residence. They usually sound awful, and thankfully it has usually been a short lived thing with them. It think they do it for the same reason as the roo's, just to let the world know 'hey, I'm here!'. I don't have silkies so have no clue how to sex them, but I would give it some time.

Ok thank you! Good news
