My 5 oldest chickens were hatched around the first of April. 4 of them are Sex Links and 1 is a black silkie. I've thought that the silkie is a her, however my husband claims it crowed yesterday. I watched it closely this morning and no crowing, but it is humming and purring and making a racket. It appears as if it is trying to crawl UNDER the sex links. It gets down on its haunches and works it's way between the legs of the bigger birds. It reminded me of a cat in heat! Was the strangest thing.
I'm curious if this is a normal behavior of a hen coming of age so to speak, or am I just wishful thinking?
I'm heading out to take a picture now... I'll add it in a bit.
