My RIR's have turned pretty social to me in the last two weeks. (they are 6 months old)
When I go into the yard they are underfoot, like puppies.
If I try to shoo them out of my way they crouch.
Gives me a creepy feeling like I'm a rooster and she be wanting some attention.

It's at the point where after I throw out some scratch and they are all chasing it
the RIRs will leave the feeding frenzy and follow me around as I do whatever chores
I'm doing. I did not expect chickens to be that attentive to me.

Any experience with this? Is this a phase or will they be "hitting" on me for the
rest of their lives?

They are underfoot because they are begging for food / treats. They crouch (squat) to acknowledge you as their leader / rooster, and telling you they are willing to be mated. It's not unusual at all.
