So, I have looked online and have seen the other forum in the same topic as this one.. The top picture is sugar, and the bottom is


Brownie, these two females have both shown odd behaviours to turning into a Roo (And we already have a roo)

Cases

Sugar- Increased wattle and comb growth, redness on the both suspects have really showed,

Brownie- Same things in Sugar, But Breeding and crowning (Yelling)

And I have already looked it up and I have read al explanations, but I wanna know if these hens will keep laying. Sugar is almost 2 years and Browne at least 3 years
 
I have heard of this happening in hens without a rooster. They develop more dominant personalities and even look that way.

I've never personally witnessed it since I've always had roosters...odd though that yours are having a second growth spurt in their combs/wattles.
 
If you have watched the secret life of chickens the lady also has a
hen who transfered into a rooster but its for 1 hour I think so you need
to skip it but its really intresting and you can learn alot
