why is my hen crowing when i have a rooster?

Consider yourself very lucky, crowing hens are highly sought for because of how rare they are! She won't change any habits and she should keep laying, so don't worry about it. I think it's super cool that you managed to get one of those! Even in my 5 years of chicken raising I have never once ended up with a crowing she.

these chickens are my first lol, i raised her from a chick. she’s always been the most skittish, but she still loves to follow me around. i’m very excited that they will turn 2 years old this summer ! i’m so happy they’ve made it another year , especially with the weird weather and the bird flu going around

Chickens can't change gender. Sometimes hens do crow, though.

Found this which was interesting, seems like they can but rarely

Don't worry about "bird flu", it doesn't exist. The only diseases to look out for are the ones told of amongst chicken keepers for years and years. THOSE exist.

so i have a pretty small flock. mentioned in my older posts, i have two lav orp hens, a salmon fav hen, a teeny tiny oeg hen and a oeg rooster. when i originally got my flock that i raised as babies, i had two lav orp chicks and two salmon favs (unfortunately, one of my salmon favs have passed away last year), and i got them out of the straight run bucket. as they grew up, i thought i had two roos, one of each breed. i thought my current salmon fav was a rooster when she was a baby; she was always aggressive and flighty, and now she’s at the top of the pecking order after the oldest hen passed. the other assumed rooster is named jiafei. she has a verryyy croaky voice, which made me think she was a rooster as a chick. but she lays eggs, and she definitely looks like a hen. she’s very vocal and likes to scream her head off. i thought she was sick originally since her voice was so croaky, but she’s about to turn two so i think that’s just how she sounds. but today she was screaming more than usual, so i came outside to check on her, and i found her crowing. unmistakable crowing—her head was cocked, she hit those notes and she kept crowing for a bit. i’ve heard of hens that crow because they’re at the top of the pecking order, or that there’s no rooster. she’s not at the very top, and we already have a rooster. i searched a bit online and saw that she might be sick, but she’s been acting normal, so i wanted to ask you chicken folks if anyone has any suggestions
here’s an old photo of her laying her first egg !

I also have a flock (17 total) with a rooster and a crowing hen. She is a very dominant Silver Laced Wyandotte and almost 5 years old. The rooster is a mixed breed 1 year old. The two of them fight a lot, and the hen even tore off most of his left spur. She has been winning all of their fights and then crowing afterwards.
I've actually heard of a lot of hens crowing.

I have a bantam Welcomer hen, the only bantam I have, that crows from time to time. She’s pretty high on the pecking order, and doesn’t get challenged very much. I think it’s neat to have a crowing hen, especially for her size.
