is it common for hens to crow?

[tsmarr]

So I got some baby chicks about 3 months ago and was told if they are brown then they are hens, we just got rid of three white chicks because they started crowing now all of a sudden one of the brown ones that doesn't resemble a rooster at all stated crowing. Will one always crow even if I know for sure they are hens?

Greetings from Kansas, tsmarr, and

! Happy you joined our flock! I've heard of hens crowing but I think it's a rare event. You might want to post a pic of the crowing bird in the link below - just in case it's a roo in disguise!

Welcome to BYC! redsoxs has given you some good advice, sounds like an undercover roo to me.

and good luck with your poultry adventure! It's more than likely a late bloomer rooster, but if you post some picture in the "what gender is this" forum, you can get some clarification on that
