The_smeeeths Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi Guys Need some advise. I have 15 girls now (12 ex batts). One of my original chickens (Dior) has now started mounting the others. Everytime we look she is on top of one of the others ...she isn't picky either it just seems to be anyone thats near by! Should I be worried or is it a dominance thing? Cheers Trig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 One of my does this too. She used to be at the bottom of the pecking order, then when we got four new chickens she started humping the others. I assume it's a domination thing, either that or we have a lesbian chicken A quick squirt with the hose stops her. She isn't doing any damage so i'm not unduly worried.

Egluntyne Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 It is a dominance thing. My Atilla the Hen does it to assert herself. Madam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 One of mine does too, I just haul her off and make her squat under my hand to assert my dominance over her. It soon stops her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 That's it Laura, she's showing dominance over her by making her submit like a cock would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
