I have 3 girls (Big Mama, Betty, Ethyl), Ethyl is caged right now because she is broody. Went out tonight to find Big Mama on top of Betty! She was mounted doggie style!! I have never seen this before. Does anyone know what this behavior means? Big Mama just went thru a long broody stage, 5 days. This was the longest I have had with my girls.
Hen only flocks can often have a dominant hen that takes on cock behaviors...... .....dominance mounting(what you likely saw), crowing, and maybe not laying.
