By this time, I would think you would possibly see some eggs and no crowing. You must have at least 2 roosters because "most" hens don't usually act all crazy like that. You didn't mention how the 3rd one was acting, the same?

Do they all look alike? Roosters look quite different than hens and if all 3 look the same, you most likely have 3 roosters. Not that I'm any chicken expert, but do you know the breed of the white chicken or can you post a picture of them?

No they don't mount but one of my RIRs has got on another hens back before and pulled out some feathers, I wasn't sure what it was doing but it did it multiple times.

That was fighting....RIRs can be very nasty to other hens...I sold all mine...Too stressful for me and the hens.

I love my old one, she was very nice. But then she went egg bound and I didn't know cause it was my first year raising and she died.
R.I.P Rosie, love you.
But that was several years ago so I know more about that now. ..

I 'd suggest eating the two screwy chickens (male or female) and be done with them. You don't need that craziness in a flock.

I had a Cuckoo Blue Bar roo who was aggressive. Put him with my older hens 5 to 7 years old who kept him in line for a bit. Then he was so hard on my hens I had to inject a couple with antibiotics. Additionally my 7 year old EE who was near bottom of pecking order is now "mating" the other hens. Started before I rehomed the roo. Craziness...uh huh...
