Rooster brooding. Is this normal?

[Canadian Wind]

Greetings! As the title says, I have a rooster sitting on an egg! He's a bantam Cochin, and today I found him in a nesting box sitting on an egg and making 'come hither' sounds. Is he just trying to lure one of the hens to come sit?

I know Cochin are renown for being broody at the drop of a hat, but the males, too??

The first day I brought my Cubalaya rooster home he spent around 3 hours sitting on a clutch of eggs

I think these broody roosters embody the "nice guy" archetype

Not too sure about him being a nice guy, at least when his hormones are up! He does like the ladies, whether they are Standard or Banty! He's just trying to lure them in.

I've been thinking about getting Cubalaya, such lovely birds, but will need to make special accommodations for them considering how cold it gets here.
