I do not have a rooster. This past week I have seen 3 separate occasions of a hen 'standing' on top of a squatting hen. Different birds each time. Today it was the hen at the top of the peck order standing on top of the 2nd in command so to speak, and they put their "parts" together, if you get my drift. What is up with this?? I have NEVER seen this kind of behavior before.

Any insight? is it hormones? Displays of dominance? they will be 1 year old April 13
