Hello :)

I am brand new here but have use this community for many years for so much helpful information.

I have 2 Buff Orpington hens who are a little over a year old, within the past 4 months they have developed this habit of crowing when the sun rises, down to the exact minute! they will also randomly go out on the front porch and just crow into the distance like they are roosters. At first I thought maybe one is just laying an egg, they make similar noises when laying, but then it became a constant occurrence. When it is not pouring down rain and I can let them out, they do stop crowing for the most part, aside from the egg laying noises. I have attached a video so you can see what I am talking about, *Sound on*. Hopefully someone has had a similar situation :)

Thank you!

Chris

We had a Black Sex-link hen who crowed occasionally. It didn't sound very good, but it was funny! And one of my Easter Egger hens crowed a few times when I brought her inside to take care of her when she was sick, but I haven't heard her do it since. :idunno
 
Can you post just a video from your files? That’s a zip file which takes about 5 steps to open. I’m dying to see a BO hen crowing 😂.
Unfortunately this form will not let me upload a direct video, I'll upload it to YouTube and share :)
