Morning,

My polish bantam has started cocking her head back, fluffing up and making this almost cockerell like noise!  :ohmy:

Any ideas on why she might be doing this? She is laying normally. As far as I am aware she has only just started doing this.

Any help/advice would be appreciated!  :unsure:

Hi,

One of my girls has started to do cockerel impressions as well.  It really makes me laugh!   :lol:

I'm not sure why they do it, I think I read somewhere that as a chicken gets older and goes off the lay it can produce more male hormones so can start to act in a more masculine manner, but if your chook is still laying then I really don't know.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly to answer your question properly. 

In the meantime you should try and video her and put her on u-tube!

not quite on topic but I have two hens who mimic the idiots who keep beeping their horns down the road. The first time they did it I thought it was coincidence but they do it all the time now. We rolled over laughing. They have got the tone just riht lol
