Roo in love with inanimate object

[ChickyWhicky]

Yes, its just as the title says. My roo is in love with an inanimate object. A silver dog bowl. I watch him come out of the coop almost every morning and make his way to the dog bowl that sits out front. He does his dance around it and will grab ahold of it and do his thing. It is absolutely comical but Im wondering if this is common? Does anybody else have a roo that gets it on with inanimate objects? Is my roo broken?

That's hilarious! Maybe shiny bowls are the sex dolls of the rooster world?

I know a friends goose loves shiny objects (but the goose is female)

My rooster likes to attempt to mate my boots whenever I go into the run.

Yes it's fairly common. Does he have any hens?

Yes, he has hens to breed and he does. But that bowl is first in line.

I had a group of three Old English Game bantam cockerels in a pen adjacent to my mixed flock of large fowl hens (in the interest of them not being flattened, being so much smaller and younger than the hens). At one point my nephew's foam stomp rocket happened to fly in there. Those boys absolutely had their way with that rocket in every way they could before I got in there to remove it. You just never know what will catch their fancy, I guess!

I think I recall someone on here with a roo that was in love with a bucket, and when the bucket rolled down the hill one day (with the roo mounting it) Mr. Roo basically did a lumberjack log roll down the hill with his bucket.

Oh my...I had no idea this was normal rooster behaviour. I wonder if my boy will fall in love with an inanimate object when he reaches maturity

I bet his mama will claim he was dropped on his head...
