The wing dance

[Stacyoung13]

Will a roo do his little wing dance towards another roo, or is it just for the girls ?

Just to impress the girls. It is funny when my girls don't looked overly impressed and he does his little dances over and over.

Just wondering . I haVe 5 silkies, one is too young (pullet I think), one a definite roo, two pullets, and one without a for sure gender. I seen my roo doing the wing dance with her/him, and was happy for another pullet. Then my husband asked the above question, and I was stumped again.

The wing dance is a part of dominance behavior.
They might do it as precursor to mating.... or attack.
If he does it for you, watch out.
