Hen doing the rooster dance?!

[Livvydays]

Head hens(Alpha) will display dominant behavior towards lower ranking hens in the flock. Dancing, Mounting, Upright Sass with side step, & lowered shoulder are a few.

Oh wow even mounting!? Ok we'll see if that ever happens! Sometimes I'm tempted to put a camera in there just for fun to see what else goes on in the coop haha! I was surprised the one that did it too because she doesn't seem like the most dominant hen. She's definitely the first one in anything happening though. Maybe there is more to it then. I would have thought my biggest hen was the most dominant because I think she thinks all the food is hers and is always picking on my Grey chicken until any of my others. I will have to watch more! So fun learning!

When you don't have a rooster in your flock, a hen will usually become flock master and take on many of a flock master duties. Occasionally one will demonstrate her dominance by actually mating another hen, even to the point of touching vents. They do not all do that, most do not do that, but occasionally one will.

I don't know if your hen followed up with a mating attempt. Even if she did it does not mean she is twisted or bent. She does not need therapy to help straighten out her sexuality, she may still lay well. But I agree, it's just a dominance display.

That's good because I can't afford therapy for my chickens ha! I will have to watch and see if she keeps laying well... never thought of that!

I have a hen who is now in henopause, has grown one spur, tidbits to the male peacock, crows every morning, and dust-bathes like a man in a hot tub. In today's world the gals can do whatever they want.

Oh my gosh that's hilarious!!
