Roo rubbing his backside on me?

[Mandalina]

My roo likes to rub his head on the back of my leg, like a dog, when I am putting water or food out. He has been doing it since I can remember so that doesnt bother me. But now he has a new weird issue, he rubs his butt on me. He lifts his tail feathers high as he can and literally rubs his rearest of ends on my leg. Is that a possesive thing or did he get hit in the head one too many times?

YOU are his most favorite hen!

Yep. Not sure I would tolerate it.

There'd be some roo butt kickin' going on.

Odd indeed! Is he dropping a wing while he's er...dusting his tailfeathers on you?

And I thought my alpha rooster was weird because he backs into my lap. You win!

He must be feeling exceptionally inadequate.

Have you offered him toilet paper?

LOL, I think I am going to have to make him stop then. He at least stopped air humping when I walked in to the coop a few months ago, I thought that was the end of his crush on me. Guess not!
