Odd things happening with my chickens.

[Honeysuckle]

I have two problems, the first one is that our rooster will put his wings to the side (kind of like those bird wind things. You know when the wind isn't blowing their wings just hang down?) and chase a hen. The hen will run as fast as she can away from him? Is he trying to mount her? Their full grown and I know he can. Another is one of my hens chased another hen for the longest time. Why are they doing this? They have been penned up for a while but this is when their free ranging.

Your rooster is possibly trying to mount, and the hens do this to show dominance, See who's boss sorta thing.

The rooster dance is done as part of mating and when the rooster is telling the hen to "straighten up!".
Dominant hens do chase their subordinates from time to time. Especially if a subordinate hen forgets her place in the pecking order.
