rooster wiggle, what does it mean??

[anniemyth]

My rooster has started to wag his head back and forth occasionally. Looks like Stevie Wonder. I thought it was just food stuck that he was trying to get down. Is it that or a typical rooster thing?

Yep, they do that sometimes. I think their wattles itch, LOL. Occasionally, it could mean mites or something, but barring any pest invasions, it seems a pretty normal rooster thing.

My Roos do that too...I call it...Rooster Tude! Ya know....like some women throw that head back and forth, when they talk??? LOL

My roo's all do it, and my buff orp does it alot.
I don't know if there is a connection, but he has huge wattles.

He throws his head back and forth in a "no" gesture.
