i saw one of my hens trying to mate with another hen this morning.she had ahold of the other hens head and was on top of her (how to put this?) and doing the motion.any ideas on what she is trying to do? thanks...
 
In the absence of a rooster, sometimes the head hen will take over and try to take the roosters place. Don't be shocked if you hear her crow either! They will sometimes do that too.

The only way to fix this issue is to add a rooster to your flock.
 
Hmmmm...maybe she's confused...lol.

That is interesting. I know I've had female dogs "hump" other dogs (male or female) and was told that's just a dominance thing...showing the other who's boss. Maybe an occasional chicken will show dominance that way as well???
 
well i guess ill have to get used to it,but it sure did mke me scratch my head this morning...lol
