i read about a hen doing that after a heavy molt, now just have to remember where
Maybe, the story goes....she was broody last fall and hatched three chicks...this spring, she started laying then stopped....about three months later, she started doing the roo dominance dance...two days ago she started crowing....way back in the day she was a low ranking hen and has risen in the ranks to be the most dominant 'girl'...who knows
