Hen acting like rooster

My seven month old hens have never done the neck fluff and chest bumping but my younger ones (some could be hens, can't tell yet) do it all the time.

I've seen one of my pullets crow. She only did it a few times. 100% female, no dought.

I have one that I thought was a rooster until "he" laid an egg and "he" mounts my other hens all the time and is one of my best layers. I'm told that the lack of a rooster one hen will take up the job, sort of.

Mine are all from 1-3yrs old and they do it all the time...the EEs did it when I first got them but Bee and Tuffy got footballed and that was the end of that...except for with the rooster. They try to dominate him so he doesn't go for a ride LOL! Its a 50/50...sometimes they give, sometimes he gives lol I have interesting birds though! They like to play with me and the horse...and give me heartattacks. Phew

I have 3 roosters and the hens still do it. Again, I have alot of different personalities in my flock
