My supposedly fantail hen just air humped my shoulder while my supposedly rooster was on my lap.
I got them back at the end of June 2021 and even after all this time I still am confused about their genders. I've only seen the hen preen the rooster for a few days after I got them. After that they started hating each other and fight all the time. So much so that they don't eat from the same bowl together. I have to separate them. They even sleep in different places and the roo bullies the hen a lot.
When I first got my hen, she had next to none feather on the butt and head. I feel like she was always bullied because the roo pecks her behind a lot.
The thing I'm confused about is that their body shape is completely different. The roo is taller and stands more upright.
Can pigeons show opposite sex behaviors?
The roo is the first picture. And the hen is 2nd.
