My Hen Behaving Like A Rooster!

ChickenLover2008 · Thursday at 7:13 AM

I have a hen that crows in the morning. The first time she did it I was thinking what's that noise. The next day I heard and I seen it was coming from my hen. I thought she was a rooster until I found out online that it's a pecking order ans she's expressing her dominance over the flock. So maybe this is the case.

Has anyone ever had their hen start behaving like a rooster? My Mildred, a 2 year old Black Sex Link has recently started acting very rooster like! She is the head hen, recently granted that title about 6 months ago when my other head girl passed. She is definitely in charge around here chasing my younger girls away BUT she is also mounting them almost daily like a rooster would a hen! It’s not a peck.. it’s a full mount which they submit to. She is laying so I know it’s a hen! Can this happen? She even looks like a Roo! Enjoy the pic!
