I'm sure this thread is going to be fun, but...
I have a new flock about 9 weeks old. Most are black sexlink. The rest were mutts from a neighbor.( multiple roosters, multiple breeds of hens) I have been very visible since they were puffs. Now they are very friendly and like their chest and belly scratched. When you scratch their back they squat down and spread their wings.
I think I have a couple roosters in the mix. My question is, do only hens squat when scratching their back? Can this be a way of telling guys from gals?
