Crowing hen

Posted by Brandon Gill on March 1, 2010 at 1:26pm

It seems one of my hens has started to crow.  Since we are in Tempe I can't have a crowing hen.  Does anyone have tips on how to make her stop crowing?  I tried a stern talking to but that did not work.

 

Thanks,

Brandon

    If she's not lonely, then there is nothing you can do. Looks like you might have to find her a new home if you want to stay on the good side of the powers that be. Or, if she's a decent size...she'd make a fine pot of chicken and dumplings!

      Does anyone know the names of rescue sites or phone numbers?

      Hey Brandon,
      Which one is it?
      She really is a hen, just loud, right? You know we don't want a rooster!
      But we might consider taking her ... our neighbors won't care, we've already got roosters that live behind us! Tell Sarena to talk to me about it if you're really thinking about giving her up.

    Been there done that.
    My crowing "hen" turned out to be a rooster. Donated him to one of the local rooster rescue groups here in town.
