Do hens get frisky?

Could be misplaced daddy issues too. My pol pullet still tries to squeeze under the elders like she did as a chick.

Funny stuff...but...if she wanted to be mated she would squat down in front of them.
Crawling under another bird is usually 'fear' or 'distress' and she's trying to 'hide'.
....to continue the funny...she's got PMS(hormone surges) and is just nuts.

I've had adult birds try to hide under another bird when they feel threatened...just saw it tonite when I was poking at a bird, she tried to crawl under the bird next to her.

Iv'e seen that too, this particular pullet makes the trilling sound chicks make when they're trying to get into mom's under fluff. She's nearly 6 months old though. Maybe it is because she's the last one here from that hatch. Just her and two cockrels and they are long gone. She's taken up with my batch of nearly 3 month olds instead of merging with the adults.
