It *shouldn't* happen, but it isn't uncommon. Normally it is older hens that this happens too (3-4 years+) but I have a ten month old who is just starting to grow them. Hen's spurs can be as long as a rooster's, but they won't start fighting, and they will continue to lay eggs and do all manner of other hen-like things.

Depending on the breed a hen can grow a short spur or spur dot.Though most breeds the hens will not grow a spur.

Yes Hens can grow spurs the same as a rooster they generally are shorter though

As a rule, no- but on occasion, yes (kinda like a bearded lady)
the spurred hens do lay eggs too...

Only if they become proficient in riding the horse ! sorry, couldn't pass that one up. I have never seen a hen with spurs but I suppose it could happen.

No. My sons raise hens and roosters and only the roosters have spurs.
