Hen mounting other hens?

[Traffie Chickens]

My 2 year old alpha hen has recently been mounting my younger hens! Is this normal? Or should I be concerned? Thanks!

Yes, that can be normal. Especially if you don't have a rooster. She's just trying to show dominance.

Ok, good to know! And we don’t have a rooster with her yet, but we do have a young cockerel. That makes sense!
