Why is my hen crowing?!

[Mya05]

Phew! Do you think it’ll restrict her laying?

It hasn't so far. I am hoping she will start acting like a hen, now that she has two cockerels to take care of her.

Once those cockerels' hormones kick in, they are going to be too much for one (or even 2) pullet. You will need to get rid of one or add quite a few more ladies.

I had a gold sebright female that crowed all through her life, but only when there were no males around. I didn't know what to think at the time. But this is pretty common.

I have several more ladies, I was just talking about the one who acts like a rooster. She is from a flock of 3, that went down to 2, that a neighbor gave me. If she were the only lady, you would be correct Also, for clarification, I have more ladies than the 2 my neighbor gave me.

Oh good! Didn't want her looking like a well used feather duster.

My crowing pullet is now a crowing hen. She crows every morning and gives me an egg every day.

Thank you! That’s very reassuring My daughter definitely wouldn’t cope if we had to rehome another of our feathered family !
