This sounds crazy doesn't it?
But this is a uncommon occurance for hens.
I have a 8 month old bantam hen whom crows for kale. Any behaviors should I suspect in the future? She does challenge my standerd hens too and doesn't get picked on a bit but not much luckily. This is the freaking funniest thing ive ever had happen to me. I have weird animals to becgin with but this takes the cake for me! She is super sweet and calm. im just concerned what my neighbors my try and pull to get rid of her from the noise. Its only occurs in the morning when I bring out kale luckily. There has been no mounting either of the other female bantam. I only have 2 bantams both of whom are female. Any advice?

Nope, no advice at all.:D
Quite a few hens will crow given the right circumstances.
As long as she's a hen you're in the clear regarding your neighbors. You could always try explaining that she's gay.:confused:
 
Not as unique as you think. I've had three hens that crowed, down to just one now, and she only does it occasionally as the mood strikes her. All three hens sounded exactly like roosters.

None went on to engage in rooster behavior, though, beyond the vocals.

For what it's worth, I also have three other hens in my flock sporting full spurs.

Sexuality can be fluid in chickens since they possess sex cells of both sexes, and secondary sexual characteristics can overlap.
 
OMFG!
I love you suggestion of what to tell them.
It's very freaking funny to hear to be honest! She starts off by sounding like a squeaker toy that is suddenly be squished to quickly for a while and gets so rialed up she crows like a roo just starters to crow!
 
True makes sense! Possibly she could be a chimera but I highly doubt it!
