Think I'm a rooster

[Kathy Chenier]

My young hens think I'm their rooster because they come up to me and crouch down to be mounted. I do the best I can by giving them a little scratch on their back. That seems to be good enough because they stand up, shake their feathers back in place and walk away making their happy noise. You all probably think I'm a little crazy. You may be right. I don't think it is mean. I can't have a rooster where I live.

Nope. I think I'm a little jealous.

Perfectly normal.

I think that they're happier when their instincts aren't frustrated.
