Strange Rooster walk

Has anyone seen this before? My rooster walks heel-toe or a little hippity-hop to get around. No injuries, change in eating or drinking habits or attempts to mate.

It could be that he's just strutting his stuff, showing off to the hens.

Is this behavior new?
A video would be good.
Upload vids to youtube, or similar platform, then paste a link here.

I wish that were the case but it started about 8wks ago, and now that’s the only way he walks and moves about.
