I have a nine ladies that have all be together for over a year now. I have caught this hen on top of several other hens at different times and during this time she seems to be trying to mating with them, I guess. The bottom hen will be almost laid out flat and the hen on top will be pulling on the feathers of her head. Is this something I should be worried about or is this a normal "thing?"
 
Sometimes the hen can have a hormone imbalance that makes her act more rooster-ish. They can even develop spurs and crow. If she's laying eggs, she's a hen. But if she's being too aggressive for the other 8, then you may have to make a choice whether or not to keep her.

Come to think of it, though, I know a few women that can be described this way as well.

Without the crowing.
 
ui ahev heard of many women doing that aswell but either u become rooster like pretend to mate witht he bully or get a rooster or isolate the hen until the pecking order returns to normal then place problem hen back into the flock
