Circling bantam roo

[QuailCreekFarm]

We have a young bantam rooster who seems healthy and happy except that he turns in circles as if he's chasing his tail. Sometimes he'll do this for 10 minutes. He's one of five roosters (not the dominant but high in the pecking order). Any one ever experience this? Any advice?

Sounds like a neurological problem. I had a roo once that would be walking along then suddenly run sideways. He'd keep going till he ran into something then sit down for a minute and get up and walk off like nothing happened.

How old is he? Is he dancing when there are hens around? Maybe he is doing the mateing dance for them, or you?? Some roos will try to do the mateing dance for you if he thinks you are HIS hen!
