hey its brandon,
im confused!
will a silkie hen chest-bump/fight with a silkie cockerel??
i think s/hes a hen, pompom crest, a lot of saddle feathers covering the tail feathering (which is short and neat), making hen sounds, but she has longer legs than the other hens has a bigger body shape, alike the cockerels, but she holds herself like a hen,

If she's a dominant hen in the flock, she might boss around a junior rooster.

We have an older hen that bosses around our young roo all the time. She chases him away from food, if he is doing his thing, she comes running over and scares him away. I feel that it is entirely possible for a poullet to chest bump a cockeral.

i have a roo that is new at being sexually mature, and when he goes after the hens, they don't seem to happy about it, and fight with him

It seems like all of my hens have no problem about bossing around the young roos. And one Hen that even tells Zues where to step off. LOL But she is Huge and not very femine either, Zues has learned if Miss Dumplin doesnt want to be bothered with him to just walk away otherwise the fight is on. And He is a lover not a fighter.
