Thanks for the interesting information !
You think that this behavior is breed dependent?
If I had the opportunity I would do a blood hormone concentration screen of
This rooster and compare it to the concentration of hormones in a standard rooster. I know that in mammals the concentration of Oxytocin in the male blood
Influence the male behavior making heme more sensitive and more "motherly".
I wonder if there is a harmon in chickens that change the behavior?

Hormone profile highly likely as even impacts male humans. I have that problem now with little kids.

I would look at progesterone levels in addition to oxytocin. Former I think is more important with the incubation process which is depicted in video while latter more important with parenting of birthed / hatched young. I have seen enough critters where father is more vested post-fertilization that I do not like to extrapolate from the mammal centric motherly.

Breed I think is important.
