My Black 21 week Sexlink and 28 week Amereacauna (dont know how to spell that) hens have been fighting like roosters..Is that normal? They've been face to face n' all just like my roosters use to do!! They are both hens!

My hens do the same, They are just trying to establish the HEN pecking order.

The intent was humorous rather than rude, hence the smiley face - sorry that you did not get it. To the OP, sorry if this appeared rude to you.

Duly noted. In my world, rolling eyes usually means sarcasm.

Are any laying yet? Any crowing?
My RIR pullets "squared off" at that age... with each other and the dog. Both are hens, laying and don't do it anymore.
Now, three young rooster chicks (teenagers) are doing it... but, I know they are roosters and will go to freezer camp when they get just a bit bigger. It's fun to watch the "hackles up" stare down, IMO.

Good luck, have fun, enjoy them, take a picture.

Yeah, they're both hen! lol No crowing!!
