Dancing Rooster?

Found this cute video on Youtube

. Is that rooster dancing or what?

Yes he's doing the wing dance. Roosters will do it to the hens to get them in line, make them behave and/or do what he wants them to.
I don't allow or encourage my roo to dance for me. I am not his subordinate and I don't do what he says.
ETA: Not that the lady has much to fear from that silkie, but it's completely different when a 13 lb. rooster is trying to control you.

I'll have to watch out for that behavior then, I didn't know that they did it. The little silkie is so cute doing it though, with his little feathered feet.

Since it's 1 am and I'm on youtube watching dancing chickens, I guess maybe I really am a newbie ccl!

Yeah chickens are alot of fun. Roosters add a whole 'nother dimension to the flock and I can't imagine my flock without my Thor. I like that he's very respectful of people and good to my hens.
