Rooster behavior question

[chickiemama27]

If you listen carefully, the sound he makes while snuggling into a depression in the soil is a very rapid clicking, a bit more subtle than the tidbitting sound. This is the nesting vocal, and he's doing it for himself as much as to entice a hen to come agree with him that he's found a splendid nesting site.

My two roos do this a lot. They especially enjoy jamming themselves into a dark corner of the run, either inside or outside. Sometimes they even get into a nest box and call attention to it as if they only just then discovered the nest and its superior suitability for laying.

Oh my!!! I bet this is totally it!! It’s a very sweet sound. He’s a lover for sure...dances for the girls. Alerts them of everything. He’s even nice to us. He doesn’t peck us at all, let’s us handle him easily, and loves his girls. I was terrified of having a roo bc of all the bad stories I’ve heard but so far this fella is a big gem

He’s mating alot...so I guess he’sreally wanting them to lay. So far we’ve only one gotten one egg from this bunch (all 5 months old- mixed batch). I feel like he’s ahead of some of them in maturity.

Roosters usually are ahead in maturity, in all the instances I've seen.

He sounds like a good rooster!
