One of my hens (the dominant one of the group) just mounted a young hen. She mounted her, pecked her head and held her down, and humped her. What is going on??? My young hen was not happy.
Will she stop? Is there anything I can do to stop her? The other chicken runs away from her terrified.
It's a pecking order thing. It's what they do. It may calm down once everyone is adjusted.
The other chicken runs away from her terrified.
It's a dominance thing with the pecking order. The other chicken will quickly learn that if she doesn't bring none, won't be none.
They do that sometimes if there's no rooster
