Odd hen??? What's wrong with her?

[Pillzzner]

I have a showgirl rooster. He has 1 showgirl hen and 3 amberlink hens. He also has a d'uccle bantam hen. She is the oddball. They are all laying. They all get along really good, but the rooster doesn't seem to want to "service" the d'uccle. Not sure if it's because she is smaller or a different color???? So any time I enter the coop she runs to me, spreads her wings and squats. Not sure what I'm suppose to do for her.LOL Is this normal? I have another coop with all phoenix bantams....should I try and put her with them? She just seems lonely.

She is just being friendly. They squat for the rooster to mate them, but she may feel that he is too big or rough for her. I have a d'uccl hen and rooster in a large flock of different breeds, and Millie will only let Sarge the d'uccle mate with her. She is the only chicken that runs to me and squats to be petted. She may want you to pick up up. Mine flies up to my shoulder or on my back if I ignore her.

My EE does the same thing. She's my baby. I pick her up snuggle her a bit then put her back down. That seems to be enough for her.
