The crowing FEMALE sebright

[Chicken mob]

Since you don't have a rooster, she may be declaring her dominance over the flock. My Mom has a crowing hen! I don't know if yours will continue to crow, but it's likely. I hope this helps. And since she is only 5 months old, she may actually be a he.

I have a crowing silver Sebright (5 mo) that crows. I have had countless of people tell me its a female, so thats whats interesting.

Something i notice is that this one has had a huge crowing gap. Whenever i have had roosters (ive had quite a few.) once they start crowing, there are sometimes gaps between crowing again, but normally they just get so excited they continue to crow 24/7, and sometimes fizzle out a little bit on crowing.

This one had about a 3 week (or even more!) gap of crowing.

Like the Sebright crowed once or twice, then didn’t crow for 3 weeks or so, then started crowing again! So heres my question

Assuming its a female (like everyone says) will i be stuck with a crowing female?? I mean, thats the #1 reason i don’t want roosters in the first place! Because of crowing. Or, is this possibly a male? Because the waddle seems pretty developed. Will she/he eventually fizzle out of it?

Would a video of the crowing be useful? Its crackly sounding, like a broke kazoo. It also gets extremely high to do it, like when doing this, it got in the nesting box on the perch to be high, and they NEVER stay in the nesting box this late, ever.


Picture i took yesterday: View attachment 3182125Extremely energetic, spunky, and out of the two (Sebright, Trixie, Japanese, Dixie) Trixie seems to be slightly dominant, but they aren’t aggressive and i never have seen them make contact

Thanks! I thought that, but would it be the same if its not a flock and just a pair? Its only the sebright and a japanese (for now, of course, im building a bigger flock, 5 more on the way to be mixed in when adults, and hopefully Em can get along with them to, especially so if i have a roo).

My female started crowing after she lost her mate. And the male has a bigger comb then the female. My Minni looks just like your picture here.

Picture of my golden Sebright hen that crowed and tried to mate other hens in the flock. She was the alpha hen, and, yes, she laid eggs.

when hens lay an egg sometimes they sing an egg song this might be what you are finding

No, not an egg song, it does sound like a crow.

Aswell as that, he has started trying to mate Dixie.
So is it a male? Some said the females also try to mate, so now im confused.

That Picture is of a rooster... he has a Rose Comb with a horn off the back. That is what the seabright roosters have, the hens do not have a cross comb that is defined or big! The hens will also have a mulberry comb.
