My hen Bernie ‘mates’ with her favorite hens. Her technique is improving. The hens seem fine with it.I don’t have a tomboy, but 2 mama’s who titbit for their chick.

And I have a sort of lesbian hen (Kraai, behind Ini mini on the photo) who mates other hens without being nice to them. Stopped giving eggs, because she is broody.

She sometimes escorts her favorite hen when she wants to lay and paces about outside the nest. But not always.
She has attacked a hawk that had one of the pullets pinned to the ground.
But she has never, ever shared food!
Bernie lays an egg maybe 1-2 times a week.
