Such a weirdo! Pics to prove it.

My 3 year old hen (Silver Laced Wyandotte) has developed some wicked claws as if she were a roo. What the heck? Has she decided to be the boy? I dont see her acting out. Info, experience and insight is welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks, the gang.

Yes hens can get spurs.amd those are not mew... they are at least a year old on her.

Those are spurs and many hens will grow them. Actually I have a pullet who just started laying who has spurs.

Most generally hens who grow these either have it in their genes,like certain breeds of game birds,and than lots of times your most dominant hen has it.
