My young Rooster preens my hair: is this normal?

He does mount rocks, though.

>Is he mounting girls yet?

No. The young hens are too young and Penny, my older hen will kick his ass. Also, my 3 year old Rooster won't let him mount.

So he's a subordinate.....if he starts mounting your head.....

He sounds confused I think it's time you had the talk.
You know how teens are. They hear their friends talking or see things on TV. They think they know it all when they really just know enough to be dangerous.
I'm sure he picked up on someone talking about breeding to a barred rock to make sex links.
Just set him down and explain Plymouth barred rocks are not just any old rock but a beautiful breed of chicken.
It'll probably be embarrassing for both of you but it needs to be done.

I once watched a cockerel attempting to breed a coffee can. He kept falling off. Some one commented that if he was successful, the next generation would yield a hen who would lay high test eggs. No morning coffee needed for that "morning wake up".

This might turn into a whole new thread topic.
Mine must not have a high $ex drive. All I've ever seen is with a duck or two.

My young fellas have always been fond of box turtles "hidden inuendo shall stay hidden", much like those poor turtles should.
