I have caught my roosters doing this a few times. They put their beaks together and stand there for over 5 minutes. They don't make noise or show any aggression. It is winter in Michigan so I'm not sure if they are cold? Bonding? Sleeping? Has anyone seen this?

I have 3 roosters and no hens. They are approximately 2 years old. They have all been very friendly towards me and follow me everywhere. I noticed a few days ago that the Buff Orpington will walk right up to me and then move his body sideways. He does NOT drop his wing or put his head to the...

Long story short, we "inherited" ducks from the neighbor who was not taking care of them. From what I know, they were only fed cracked corn when they were ducklings. 2/8 have leg issues which I gather is from lack of niacin. I am currently feeding them Purina duck feed. Paul has always been...
