Hi everyone! This is not an emergency. I'm just concerned about this one hen I have. She is a 4 year old partridge rock I got at a week old. She has never laid in her life and has never shown any interest in hatching eggs (never broody). The noises she makes are little peeps, yet she attacks me sometimes, like a rooster. She also is kind of a loner and doesn't like being touched or held.
She also sits down A LOT. Dispite her desire to always sit down, she is active and loves to fly all over the place on to roosts and such. She eats, drinks, her feet are not damaged, she is not overweight or underweight, has a brightish, perky comb, and bright eyes. Her crop always empties out by the end of the day and she poops normally. She loves dustbathing and finding things in the dirt. Whenever she isn't dustbathing, she is always sitting on the ground.
She has no physical rooster attributes.
Has anyone else have a hen that looks like a hen, but acts kind of like a rooster? Anyone have a healthy hen that never lays eggs ever? I can't seem to find resources online that give me info, except for ones that tell me my hen is sick or has a reproductive disorder. She just does not lay eggs!!! Its so confusing!
