Over the years I've noticed marshmallow has a strange little thing she does. I'm curious if anyone has ever seen this. Shes always been a strange little being. She does not get bred. If a rooster tries to breed her she runs like the dickens and if I'm present runs to me (which is weird cuz she hates me). But what shes does when the rooster breed the other hens is the weird thing. If it happens in here eye shot she will go over and peck the hen as if to say that's my man.... yet she doesn't want to be bred. Is she a prude? Can chickens have a sense of appropriateness? Shes never hurt anyone. And it's never a viscous attack. It's a behavioral trick I've never been able to explain. Thought maybe someone would know why she does this.
