In case you need a laugh this morning 😆…….

I went out to feed and water my ducks, chickens, and rabbits this morning before work and I heard what I thought was a sickly barking dog in my neighbors yard. As I got closer I realized it was coming from my chicken coop. Yep. I know it happens. I’ve heard about it but had never seen it. MY HEN WAS CROWING

Here’s the video it you’d like to see

Are you sure that's a hen !?! That just looks like a rooster with a voice crack

Lol I’m fairly certain. That’s the first time I’ve heard the crow and she’s about 2.5 years old. No spurs. Purchased her as a week old pullet.

She's quite pretty. Can you post a full-body photo of her as well? (Because photos of pretty chickens are always fun! And it might also settle the previous poster's question about whether that is really a hen or not.)

Thank you. I can take a photo later. I do have this photo from about a year ago of my four buffs. She’s in there somewhere.

I’m laughing because that’s when I had only four hens. I had some others that were young. Now when you look out in my yard you see 20 hens of various breeds and five ducks

Not the worst crow I've heard. Certainly beats those first pathetic crows by cockerels.

Ok, I'm now possessive she's a hen, but that baby looks kinda terrified...

A damaged ovary can cause a hen to grow a big comb and wattles and look like a rooster.It definitely looks like a rooster.

Something must be in the air! My hen was just doing this!
