My Sebright hen is crowing

[Fwoof]

My Silver Laced Sebright Stormy is 100% female because she lays eggs and has no spurs. Yet sometimes she crows in the morning and I don't know why! (She even does the mating dance occasionally.)
Why is my hen trying to be a rooster?

That‘s strange, I had a silkie hen the crowed.

If there are no males, occasionally a hen will step up into the role of crowing

Some hens do crow. It just happens sometimes.

Laying eggs is a good proof that she is female!

Spurs do not always tell gender-- some roosters do not grow them, and some hens do grow them. (But since she lays eggs, it doesn't matter whether she has spurs or not-- she must be a female.)

I have one other male, and Stormy knows he's at the top of the pecking order

I had a female ISA Brown named Phoebe that had spurs.
