This chicken is about 6 months old and today I noticed the mounting behavior on several hens. My husband swears that he has heard a crow in the morning....I have had it for about 2 months. Today was the first time I have seen this from this chick and now taking a closer look it really does seem more like a roo. It is also beginning to have ploom feathers on the back end.

if you hear a crow,
you have a roo..

but not always does mounting mean a roo
it could be a confused hen
 
My little girl Boston Terrier mounts her brothers. And all three are "fixed". It's common in all the animal world to show aggressive dominance.
