I have had all hens, and my lead hen goes broody every year, and lays prolifically, but she also has inch long spurs.

Is she named after a singer?My lead hen, a Barred Rock, crows in the morning, but it is a very delicate, soft gurgle crow. She only does it *right* at the moment when the sun is coming through the trees, and only once or twice. It's adorable. She still lays eggs just fine.
Do you know anybody who could help this poor lady she has an egg bound hen here is the link!!Is she named after a singer?
That’s just too cute.
She is named "Depends" after the adult diaper! When she was a chick, it looked like she was wearing a big diaper (Barred Rocks have those fluffy, white butts as chicks), thus the name.Is she named after a singer?

No, she was not named by a sweet little child, but by two semi-normal, functioning adults. We also have a Fishstick, Butters, and Shortbus. We are running out of normal names.
LOL! Gotta love unique names .She is named "Depends" after the adult diaper! When she was a chick, it looked like she was wearing a big diaper (Barred Rocks have those fluffy, white butts as chicks), thus the name.

That's a hen with a hormone imbalance. Is she the top hen? Do you have a roo so that she can let go of the lead role and settle in as a hen?I have a 1.5 year old RIR chicken who as a chick we thought was a roo ,but at about 23 weeks old he/she started laying. So we where like HE is actually SHE and that was that. When he/she was 14months old he/she stopped laying and only lays a fairy egg about once a month. Then I found out about gender changing chickens. At this time I noticed how he/she doesn't look like a hen and before he/she started molting had green/blue kind of long tail feathers, fiery orange hackle feathers, and a bigger comb than my rir hen. I went outside and looked at she/he and the spurs have slightly grown since she/he has last layed.
Could he turned into a hen (and that's why production was so bad) then now is turning back into a roo?
