Have had a few gyps that were a lot like males myself, have 1 now I really like, & 1 I had in the past was so male like she lifted her leg to piss, & would hump your leg!
They remind me of certain lines of gamefowl I had grew up with, you would get hens that had to be kept away from other hens, they grew long spurs like a rooster, & would crack the back of their wings n crow like a rooster...but would still breed, sit on eggs, hatch, & raise chicks just like any other hen would!
But back to the subject...yes it does seem like an idividual thing, as I have had gyps that remained their normal selves in heat, & gyps that acted very differently when in heat! I just choose to stay away from activities when their in heat, or after whelping, I mean if I made the choice to breed them then why should they further prove themselves after being bred...they already proved enough for me to make the choice to breed them in the first place!
I guess its a "to each his own kinda thing"...you know!?
