Well...they look like roosters, but they act like hens.

They're confused and so am I!!

I'd say he thinks you're his hen LOL!


Hahaha!!! well I am cute....lol!


They are just weirding me out. I spend way too much time staring at them waiting for something. I wish someone would pop an egg out or at least crow!!

I swear, my 2 'boys' sure seem like girls. maybe they are very in touch with their feminine side. But seriously, should they be more male by 21 weeks, especilly if one is already crowing?

I'm in the same boat...a gender confused chicken!

Gorgeous pictures...I want a polish now!

THe one and only hen, comes up, but does not like to be pet.

She's probably grumpy, b/c she's the only girl with all those roos... Lordy, she doesn't need MORE attention!

Well, maybe his head feathers are getting in his way and he can't see you very well, so therefore he assumes you are his hen..."Wull thar she is, I can hear her! Hey baby check this out!!"

The Two things I would say about that:

1st: It's done when it's mating time, not likely he's trying that with you.

2nd and my best answer for you:
It's a way in setting the pecking order, you said you spend a lot of time with them so he thinks your part of the flock and he wants to be the ruler so he wants to fight you, this is probably the feeling out process just until he gets a couple weeks older then BAM!!! he's all over your legs trying to kick your butt so he will be the dominate king of the barnyard.

Just watch out for him as he may turn on you when you least expect it.

Let me know if I'm right as I'm interested in my own opinion of whats going on with him.

Well, it has been a little while since I posted this. The rooster that does the dancing, has crowed 2 times. A very sad and unimpresive crow!

He still does the dance around me, but lets me pick him up and hold him. I pick him up alot, and he is very gentle. I hope he does not try to attack. I will not take that!

I will let you know how it gos! thanks!

Those are both beautiful birds you have, but I have to say the second one is just stunning. Sorry I don't have anything to add on the topic of the "stomp."

It sounds like you've had good guesses from other people, though.
