My gold spangled hamburg, who used to lay very light cream eggs, has gone trans! LOL she’s always been growing a spur, but now her comb has gotten Huge!

I used to have a rooster like this. He would do everything the hens would do, even lay in nesting boxes. Then one day I came out and he was ontop of my hen

It's possible that her one functioning ovary was damaged

Is she still laying?

She hasn’t layed in a while, only a couple of times since we lost over half the flock to a weasel. No males right now.

Sorry about the losses.

It is usually a reproductive disorder

I'd say damaged ovaries too - and would be surprised if she ever lays again.

Sometimes too, besides the reproduction problems, when you dont have a roo a hen will take on the role of rooster even so far as growing spurs, comb and not laying. That wont make her fertile though
