I think my baby roo is in love with me!

I have a 13 week old cockeral, Vincent, and today I decided I'd pick him up and carry him around a bit. So I picked him up and cuddled him, he tried to escape so eventually I sat him on the ground and held him and pet him there. When I was finished I let him go and he did a wing dance around me!! I wanted to see if it was a fluke and if he just meant it for a pullet so I picked him up again, pet him and put him down and he did the same thing!

Is this a sign of dominance or is he trying to woo me? He finished his dance and walked away and ate, he didn't do anything aggressive so maybe he was just trying to impress me?

LOL, why is it that roo's are so sweet as chicks? Is it so that you won't want to eat them when they hit adolescence?

If he's usually a sweet boy hes trying to woo you.

If he doesnt like you near him and is usually crappy and starts dancing hes challenging you

He's usually a little nervous of me but not mean.
