Weird rooster behavior, what do you think?

I have heard that roosters will make nests and sit on them to show the hens how to lay eggs and to encourage them! LOL It is so sweet!

 

My enormous standard cochin rooster "Harvey" has done that before. They free-range in summer, and they have picked out a spot in between two tree roots as their nest. One day I found big goofy Harvey on the "nest", clucking and fussing at me like a broody hen!

 

I have had chickens since I was 8 years old and have never heard of such a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, most of the chickens I've had were American Game, and I cold NEVER imagine one of those proud birds in a nest!!!! RFLOL

I don't know how I'd handle that one...

 

Both of my silkie roosters will do the same thing when I go in the coop to clean it! I was wondering also if that was normal. I figured that they were showing me that I need to make a nest to lay an egg. They will even do a "grunting" sound. I was very confused because they act like roosters in every other way. It is just so adorable that they care for me like that.
