I've had this happen with genetics. Had a rooster who did it all his life and now his son does it, and has since early on. I am not breeding his son, and it's not parasites or infection either - as that would spread.For some time now one of my roosters has been sporadically wagging his head back and forth almost like he is trying to shake water out of his ears. I'm new to chickens and don't know if this is normal or a sign of a serious illness...
A few days ago I saw a second rooster do a similar head wagging move and now I'm really not sure if I should be concerned or if this is a normal rooster thing...
Can anyone advise me to why my boys are doing this?
It CAN be parasites and infection, but it also can be genetics.
