My hen is crowing

[Severne]

I have a bantam that crows when she’s lonely or when there isn’t a rooster.

I had a hen that crowed when she was lonely or wanted something.

Connie my 3 year old polish had bumblefoot and was in isolation in a dog crate in the kitchen for a few weeks while we treated it. After about 2 weeks she started crowing around mid morning on weekends! We would hear her in bed if we were having a lie in, but then she started occasionally doing it when we were downstairs with her! Not sure if she did it while we were at work during the week....

My favorite hen is crowing! Can a hen crow? It appears now I have 3 roosters and 4 hens. Unless a hen can crow? Is it possible? Penny crowed several times after I picked up my rooster. Maybe the hen was upset I took her rooster? They were definite crowing s by her (him?)?

I have had two crowing hens. The first was definitely the alpha and was lost to a predator. Now, my girlie, Tillie, who has been alone for a couple months has begun crowing. Her sister was the alpha, but, sadly, a coon got into the coop and killed her. Wendigo was the vocal one and Tillie would occasionally chirp a bit, but, nothing more. Living in the country, I think she can hear other roosters and is copying them. When she's is ready to get out, we know it!

When we went to get a sister for Tillie, we ended up coming home with three chicks. They are ready to join Tillie as soon as we build a bigger, better, and more secure coop and completely covered run.

We have quite a group, Tillie is a gorgeous Australorp, the new chirpies are a pair of German Bielefelder named Sinbad and Cleopatra, and, a Jubilee Orpington hen named Wendigo Louise, aka Weazie!
