So I’ve noticed one of my hens will sit down and the rooster will stand over her/beside her. It’s in different locations. He’s not mating her, he’s not even necessarily standing in the same direction. Is he just providing her some shade? The last time she was in a corner (where my porch and wall make a 90 degree). She’s just crouched down looking out at the yard and he’s standing right next to her facing the house. Probably a dumb question but have never noticed it before. They’re usually foraging or layed up under some trees or something. It is hot (Tennessee in July) so I figured she’s just resting and he’s giving her shade.
