What do you do when your girls squat for you?

I rub and pick them up for a pet. I rub their little combs to the side and they sing. I also gently rub their wattles. They love the attention and sometimes will come right back for more. Gloria Jean

If your flock is without a roo, a couple of things can happen.
One, a hen, probably the most dominant but not necessarily, will assume the position of roo/alpha hen and will likely even start crowing.
Even if this happens, the bulk of your body coupled with your "dominance" of the flock will cause the squat behavior in the hens, it's normal, their genes make them seek a roo to procreate, they haven't had that bred out of them so it's pretty normal.
Instead they see you as the "dominant" roo and do what is expected of them and bred in them and squat to be mounted.
If you're feeling like you should do any of the things mentioned previously in the thread, go ahead and do it, won't hurt a thing and your neighbors shouldn't be nosy enough to care.
With my girls, they tend to crowd around my feet and it's not unusual for five or six of them to squat but that's a pia so I don't do anything. The alpha hen will follow me around commenting on just about everything I do and watching to make sure I don't get any bugs that she might like, she will purposefully walk over and squat, usually right on top of my feet. In which case, I'll pet her, ruffle her feathers and she usually then runs off a bit fluffing her feathers and puffing up her neck and shaking to settle the feathers.
Now if I stand among them, and start kicking up grass or whatever, they will all run over as they would if a roo was calling them to eat a tasty bug so that leads me to believe the above, that you replace the dominant roo when none is present.

Just my $.02 worth....
