Lovely to have a question on the Emergency forum that doesn't actually involve a sick chicken!
Great that people are able to tell you that not only is your boy displaying normal mating behaviour but actually very restrained and gentlemanly behaviour since he is waiting for a hen to respond to his advances rather than just grabbing and mounting squawking hens/pullets that are trying to flee him as a lot of cockerels do. He is a keeper in my opinion. How old is he? If he is an adolescent, then it is even more remarkable as those hormones drive them to distraction and the females in the flock usually suffer for it.
