Okay so i was petting one of my hens today by rubbing them under the wings. Then while i'm doing it, its bum feathers start to go down and it looks like its about to poop because the pink thing comes out. In shock, i quickly moved away but no poo came out. SHe started shaking her feathers repetitivly (dont know if i spelt that right) . I decided to experiment on this and while im doing it, again it looks like shes going to poo but no poo comes out. Isnt this strange?

Only 2 of my hens reacts. The others are just like, what the hell are you doing!

let go of me! *struggles* lol Hehe, just decided to share xD >.<

I know this is gonna be "eewwww!" factor. It sounds just like what my hens do during mating to enable the rooster to make contact.

If "under the wings" is anywhere near the back, then yes, the hen thinks your rubbing is actually the pressure of a rooster's feet on her.

When a rooster is up there, his feet rest right behind or on the shoulders of the hen.

Are they laying yet? If not, you will soon be getting eggs, because that is definitely a sign of maturity. And that they think you are the "roo!"
