Rooster behavior.

[emmalou1]

I thought that was the Rooster Love Dance. Drop on wing, tap dance around the hen counter-clockwise with sweet little clucks.... You know, "Baby, do ya wanna?" I don't see them doing it to other roosters, only to the hens. If she is ready and willing, she squats for him and he mounts her. If she is not interested she ignores him and he walks away. End of transaction. Nobody gets hurt.

Something totally different happens bwtween the roosters. They flat-out charge each other, jump up at each other, full frontal, wings thrashing, spurs flailing. But after a couple of encounters one rooster dominates and the other lays low and stays by himself. He may try to sneakily seduce a hen away from the flock, but if Boss Roo catches him at it, he'll rush at him, and the Batchelor makes a quick and lonely escape.

That's what happens in my yard anyway.

Well if he’s “love dancing” at me I think he might have a few wires crossed

Yes, they do that when getting ready to mate, but it is also a sign of dominance and can happen just before an attack.

For the safety of your daughter I would get rid of him or lock him up. That's a rooster dance. It could lead to an attack next. Not always but it's disrespectful to you. Keep him away from your daughter. She will be an easy target for him to practice on.

Ditto Dat!!!^^^

It's not worth the risk to have him around your daughter.
