I am afraid that my one hens behavior may be dominance. If so what should I do? Georgie is one of my six month old Barred rocks likes to fly up onto my back/arm/shoulder if I kneel down to talk to her or her and others. What do you think?

Coming up to you to be picked up is different than flying at your head to land on your shoulder.I have been reluctant to discourage her too much because except for the really young lavender Orpingtons she is one of only two that will come up to me.
Yep, exactly....true with any animal.OK I guess it is like with young horses. You let them come up to you, but they are taught to leave space and you touch them. Also any attempt at nuzzling is strictly disciplined.
