transgender chicken?

I had my hens attacked by a dog this week, only 3 survived. Yesterday I noticed that the Leghorn hen who survived, was acting aggressive, today I go out to feed them and she is strutting around like a rooster, and crowed a couple of times ( attempted to crow)
Could this be caused by the trama they went through? Could she think she is a rooster now? Please help. It is really kinda freaking me out

Has the surviving hen ever laid an egg? If not are you sure she is a hen? Some hens do take over the rooster role, if there is none in the flock. But, this doesn't happen very often. An alpha hen doesn't need to crow to lead a flock.

Would you please post pictures of her, so we can make specific comments?. Sorry for your loss. Dogs(running loose) and raccoons are among the top predators.

How old is she?
I had an older hen(2 1/2 yo) start crowing recently....even tho I have a good cockbird, they do a duet every morning.
Lost a couple birds to disease, one of whom was her good buddy, about same times this started crowing.
Could be a pecking order thing<shrugs>
She is in molt right now, and is on the cull list, but I might keep her just to see what happens in the long run.
Will she start laying again after molting...and will she keep crowing? Time may tell.

She is 3 years old and yes she has been laying eggs. I will post a pic later, I actually have video of her trying to crow.
