Unsecure chicken perches

[Mr Rhode Island Red]

One of my Hybrid hens, Sadie, has grown full spurs!

 

I have seen several posts on the forum about "transsexual chickens" in which a hen turn into a cockerel. However, Sadie still has a normal sized comb and wattles, doesn't crow, and still lays eggs.

 

Any ideas as to whether she is a hen, cockerel, or something in between

 

All replies welcome

Some of them just do. I have a couple of hens with spurs ... and they are good layers.

I have a hen with spurs - she also mounts the other hens! But she also lays eggs, so not too worried about her!
