Normal cockerel/roo behavior???

[krodgers]

I also noticed my other roo in the other pen doing the same thing today over in a corner. I'm glad to know this is normal. Thanks for all the replies! I love learning more and more everyday about my birds.

The roo here spends more time in the nest than the girls.

It not uncommon in the animal kingdom.on flight birds the daddy feeds the young.in cats the lion hunts an feeds the young while mama guards the nest.same with us decades ago,daddy went to work while mama guarded the nest .

erm... hate to say it, but male lions don't hunt. Not unless they're hungry and not with females... Ok, so he CAN hunt, but if he has a pride of lionesses, his job is to defend the territory, his cubs and insemination. Hunting and actual raising of the cubs is the lioness' job.

It is the males primary job to defend but in a pride the male hunts an defends as well as tending to the cubs.wikapedia lions role.

OMG, that is ADORABLE! I love your commentary, too. That is a seriously beautiful bird. Maybe someday I’ll have a rooster, too.

Roosters are one of the most entertaining animals in the animal kingdom. It's just a crying shame so many localities refuse to allow people to keep them.

Yeah, well maybe, but...I would not want to live in even a semi-dense neighborhood, at all - but especially, with numerous cocks-a-crowing.
Even my own round robin chorus of spring cockerels can drive me nuts, until slaughter day. My new flock cock(erel) is LOUD and often over zealous.
