Rooster behavior

[Deanna64]

It's signs of a good Rooster and if in with a Hen he is courting her..My Rooster does it too and I felt as if I walked in on a private moment......

thank you! He is so sweet.

So, he might be showing them where to nest?
I thought my rooster - Roo - was a bit strange: every so often, he will tuck himself into a corner and lay down...behind a box, squeezed between a couple flower pots etc, always head first, and he sort of purrs. He'll do this for no more than a minute, then he moves on. Has anyone else seen this?

Ah! I'm late to the discussion but my new roo just did exactly that! Cuddled himself in the nest box and was purring away.

That's usually a sign you got a good rooster.
