Yes, your peahens are doing the "mating crouch" because
they are inprinted on humans. I have known several peahens
with this confused behavior.
It is not very likely that a peahen would be confused enough
to do this for a fox.
Mine are in "secure pens" which keeps them safe.

Author: Maxie [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 02:40:10 04/26/09 Sun Well, you'd never know they were imprinted on humans! They're quite shy and I can never normally get near them! Perhaps they're doing the mating crouch with me because they're frustrated at my peacock ignoring their needs. lol Thanks for you valued help. xx

Author: D C T --friendly poultry orthopedist [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:29:32 04/26/09 Sun I used to have a peahen that would AVOID the peacock and then insist on getting in my way. To get fertile eggs from her I had to distract her so that Rainbow/Rambo could catch her. I seem to run a home for dysfunctional and/or violent poultry
