Another Mad Thing

Recommended Posts

I have an appenzeller hen that thinks she is a cockerel :shock:

Last week my dad noticed that she was trying to mate with the other hens yesterday my dad let some hens out with a cockerel and she started fighting with him then this mourning she was trying to cock - a - doodle - doo :roll:

Is this normal ?

Thanks :D

Are you sure its not a boy Josh? those tail feathers and sweeping saddle feathers in the first pic look suspect, the face looks boyish but the second pic it looks female - was it younger in the second pic?

 

If its a girl, one will take on the role of the male as head of the flock and will sometimes go on to tread the other hens and even crow
