Anyone ever had a rooster that does the squat and shake?

Hi

I have this new 4 month old EE rooster. He is very gentle and was petted a lot where he came from.
Today when I went out to close the coop for the night he was the only one on the floor so I reached out and was petting him on his back when he suddenly did the squat thing with wings a bit open. I scratched his back a bit and he did the shake. Now I am really confused since I have only seen this behavior in hens.

So for my question, has any of you ever had a rooster that does the squat and shake?

Roosters sometimes do it when yielding to a rooster higher up the pecking order. It's rare but more timid Roos will.

That looks like a pullet to me.

Yeah, your bird isn't a rooster. It's a pullet.

Most definitely a pullet.

They were 4 hatched togther, this one is the only one that already has a red-ish comb while the other 3 still have yellow combs, is that not an indicator that it is a rooster?

If it turns out to be a pullet then this is the second rooster I've been given in a month that turns out to be a pullet. *sigh* And I still don't have a rooster
