Most hens have small, or almost nonexistent spurs. Only occasionally will a hen grow long spurs. There are some breeds that may be more likely to grow long spurs, such as Lakenvelders. Male Lakenvelders grow very long spurs quickly, so the chances of a hen growing long spurs as well may be increased.

Taken from www.wisegeek.com/what-are-spurs All Credit goes to them. I do not own any of this material. Spurs are instruments worn on the boots of a horse rider and used to goad the horse. Spurs are widespread throughout the equestrian world and have a long history of use, dating at least from the time of the Roman Empire. Though spurs are utilitarian, some are decorative as well and made from precious metals. In medieval Europe, spurs were symbolic of knighthood. Early spurs simply had a "prick" end, but by the 14th century, the rowel, a revolving sharp-toothed wheel, was most popular. Squires historically wore silvered spurs, while knights wore gilded ones. Spurs, especially gold ones, were considered a mark of rank and pride, and to be divested of one's spurs was symbolic of disgrace. Conquering armies sometimes confiscated their opponents' spurs and hung them on display as a sign of their victory. Today, spurs vary widely in design, and there are conventions regarding the type of spurs used in different riding styles. Most Western-style riders use fairly long spurs with a rowel that is rolled along the flank of the horse. English-style riders typically use a shorter, blunt spur to goad the horse. There are many variations available on both spur types described above.

They can grow spurs, but normally they don't. Often, a very dominant hen will grow spurs, or a hen that has a need for the extra protection, such as a hen sitting on eggs. I have a very small hen that is low on the pecking order, but very feisty, and she only has one long spur on one of her legs. Also, if there is no rooster around, sometimes the dominant hen will take his place, often growing longer spurs. All chickens have at least very small spurs, and the potential to grow long ones. Typically though, hens won't grow long spurs.
