In the animal kingdom, males often hump other males not for sexual gratification, but to show and reinforce dominance. I don’t know that chickens do it for that purpose, but it just shows there are better explanations for that behavior than genuine sexual attraction between male animals. Of course, we can’t confuse the liberals with the facts, can we?

Yeah. Roosters do that. In the animal kingdom, males don't get along. The dominate animal takes the lead, and the others have to back off and stay back.

If animals look like they're mounting - think again. Within minutes, one will probably be beat to a pulp. We've raised goats, sheep, cows, rabbits, honey bees, and fowl. The males do not have sex with each other - period. Neither do the females.

My (fixed) FEMALE dog will hump visiting dogs (male or female) who get too uppity with her. It’s all about dominance and reinforcing her territory, not sexuality. These people really need to get a life, because they obviously haven’t got a clue about the one they’re in.

It’s called pecking order for a reason.

My friends flock has a number of hens in various stages of featherlessness.

You can tell the pecking order by feather count.

Lowest hen gets pecked by everyone.
