I woke up to a trans chicken
Our take
This morning, I was tending to my chores when I heard an unusual crow that didn’t belong to either of my roosters. To my surprise, it was one of my hens! I’ve heard of hens transitioning, but I’m curious about the implications for my flock. Should I separate her from my other roosters? Right now, I have two pens: one for my larger rooster, Sunny, and another for my bantam. My newly crowing hen, now dubbed Cloudy, is five years old and has been laying eggs until this unexpected change. With such a size difference between Cloudy and Sunny, I’m concerned about potential conflicts. Does anyone have advice on managing this quirky situation? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!
So I was doing chores this morning and heard a weird crow that wasn't from either of my roosters. Turns out it was one of my hens.
I've heard of this happening but I was wondering if anyone knew wether or not I'll have to separate them from my other roosters?
I already have two separate pens since one rooster is larger than average and the other is a bantam.
My now rooster Cloudy is in with my big guy Sunny and I don't want them to fight since Sunny is so big.
Edit for info: Cloudy is 5 years old amd has been laying eggs up until this point
