Mr Rhode Island Red Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 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 Mr Rhode Island Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Some of them just do. I have a couple of hens with spurs ... and they are good layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francesca88 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I have a hen with spurs - she also mounts the other hens! But she also lays eggs, so not too worried about her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
