I got some baby chicks that will probably look the same... Rhode Island Red is one parent, and a Silver rooster with some black on him... he's half wyandotte, half light brahma or reg. brahma.
Wow some stupid comments here. Thats a female and SHES crowing. I had a pair of Seramas and when the rooster got sick, he stayed ill for a long while and the hen took over crowing. He eventually got better and once he took the 'pants' back up in the pair she stopped. But yes hens can crow!
they all look like roosters to me.... if you have an ordanance problem why on earth did you not just buy some POL chickens then at leat you would know they are hens?
I have been raising chickens for 20 years and these are the first hens i've ever had that crow. I have 3 of them. I would've gave them up if I hadn't seen them actually laying eggs... This is strange.

Is this an example of female liberation evolving?
@pachouliilamb In the absence of a male, one of the hens will come forth to fill the role of a rooster. In some cases, the hen will begin to crow, develop cockerel plumage, a larger comb and wattle, and even try to mount the other hens (Their sex organs remain female, however). This is *EXTREMELY* rare though. More often than not, you just will just have a hen that is slightly more aggressive then the others.
As for the video, the one crowing and the one on the ground are definitely male.
@eurodancequeen This is NOT THAT rare. In some breeds crowing hens are pretty common.I had both Minorcas and Leghorns crowing. While I agree with you on your description of crowing and 'mating' behaviour, developement of male plumage has nothing to do with the rest, and indicates some hormonal problem
What you have are three young roosters. I have a bantam rooster and three bantam hens...the hens all lay but one of them crows as well as any rooster I have ever owned. I have been raising chickens for thirty years and this is the first crowing hen I have ever owned.
What was the result? From this fuzzy video I think you had 2 roosters and one hen. The one that stayed mostly on the white chair was the hen. The other two had spurs and crowed.
I just uploaded a video of my crowing hen, but she is three years old. Sometimes hens have been known to crow, but they rarely do it when another rooster is part of the flock. Judging by the plumage I think you have some roosters there. Sexing chickens at that age can sometimes be tricky, give it another month and you should know. Update us, were they roosters?
If there are no roosters in a flock, a dominant hen may start crowing, we had a sex-link hen that did this when I was growing up. Look it up in Wikipedia!
There are dominant hens who crow. The hens never quite "Cockadodle-do" like a real roo does.
There are several ways to sex a chicken, one is that males have longer wing pinfeathers than a female. Google the breed of your chickens to see what the difference between the sexes are.
Looks like you got all roosters there. For 3 months old they have huge combs, and they are very red. They also have thick legs, and another indicater of being a roo is bright yellow legs. And they all have saddle feathers and roo-ish tails. And no hens do not crow, so if they are crowing that is defiantly a roo.

Maybe someday all the hens will crow?

Some hens do crow whenever there aren't any roosters around.
