Has anyone ever come across 2 male corns mating? A friend of mine has just witnessed 2 of her boys at it, both are proven males but one was locked into the other one :S

I have not witnessed it, but i have heard of it.... i assume... a corn picks up the wrong pheromone and thinks its the opposite sex, some people think its a "i'm a higher up male than you". But it happens.... just not often....

I'm wondering if the behavior that was witnessed was actually male combat for dominance. If not,...I would say they are definitely "HOMO" for a very undesireable trait!..LOL!!

Sounds more like males fighting for dominance to me as well.
