Hello! I have a six month old Orpington rooster with a strange quirk: He looks and the ground and backs up confusedly, as if he’s dropped a penny, seemingly out of nowhere for about a minute several times a day. I don’t think it can be confused for a challenge because it’s not directed at anyone and he does it when no other chicken (or person) is near. He also seems to hesitate when I bring food to the flock. Initially I assumed he was just being a good rooster and letting the others eat first, but he genuinely just seems scared! Is my rooster broken? Thanks
