My rooster is... Humping the ground

[aart]

I too have seen mine hump, but it was like playing in an air guitar contest, there was nothing to hump, he won first place that year. Sorry

So it would be like 'twerking'.... huh?

My rooster will grab the hens but then he jumps the ground if they don't sit still

So my rooster, who is about a year old now, has started doing this thing where he picks up a feather lying around and he then humps the ground with it in his mouth. He is going away soon anyways unfortunately but I'm just curious if something is wrong or if this is normal.
Thanks!

Mine does exactly this! He prefers feathers from a particular pullet, but he'll do it with whatever feather he picks up. I think he has matured earlier than the pullets (they are 17.5 weeks) so maybe they're just not ready for him yet. Or it could be that he's kind of at the bottom of the pecking order, even as a rooster. Either way, it's hilarious to watch. We call it chicken porn.
