roos exposing their vents? added pics

[flip9109]

some of my rooster suspects "assume the position" (like a a hen) when you push down on their backs. I have 43 peeps (19 roos, 24 hens) They are all 6 weeks old. will young males do this or have I miss labled them?

Well, I've never even seen a six week old pullet do that, so not quite sure what to make of what you're saying.

At 6 weeks old I think most any chicken will squat if you are pushing their little bodies down into that position.

Young roosters can and will do this. Older roosters sometimes dominate younger ones in a show of power. Sorta how bucks and rams top younger males to show who's boss.

I'm not puting much preasure really. just resting my hand there. they spread their wings just a little and drop their fluff to expose their vents.
