Rooster behavior

[The_Chicken_Tender]

Does anyone know what it means when a rooster drops his wing down and kind of shuffles to the side? I've seen many roosters do it, and today I saw one of my hens (who thinks she is a rooster) do it to another hen. I'm very curious, so answers would be appreciated!!

It's "the mating dance." It can also be a sign of dominance.

Among hens this usually is a threat, which will lead to immediate attack if the other does not back down.
