My hen try’s to crow, but sadly her voice is just not loud enough

I have a 4 year old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte that just started crowing. We don't have a Rooster, as we were reported years ago for having one in a no rooster zone. So I am waiting for the knock on the door, so I can prove I don't have a rooster. I may luck out as she half crows. She starts to crow and stops half way through. She isn't very loud and only crows once at about 5:30 AM.

My son came running in the house. I though something was wrong until he said what was going on....

Do they still lay eggs or are they finished

 

[abottrell]

Our legbar is still laying.

4 yrs seems to be the age.
My only Golden Comet to reach 4 yrs started Crowing. She grew spurs.
She was still laying.

I've never had a Rooster.

My daughter's mother-in-law had a crowing hen -- her best layer!

My 2 1/2 year old barred rock started crowing the day after her girlfriend died. At first I thought I was going crazy, but now I've heard her crow several times.

... and she's getting better at it.


She's been really sweet with me, but more aggressive and territorial with the food and water with the other girls.

I live in the city and *really* do not want to be *that* neighbor with a crowing chicken. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get her to stop? She's the most dominant in the flock so I was thinking I could isolate her for a while and see if someone goes for the "coop" de estat while she's gone? (sorry I had to)
