Why is he doing this?

When I was cleaning out the banty shed my gold laced poland cockerel came in and went in the neat box. He started making funny noises and scraping about. Then he sat down and started to make himself comfy. The a blue laced Wyandotte hen came in and went into the nest with him he then got up and started making the noises again. She then started pulling at his feathers. They repeated this process a few times. What were they doing??

My guess is he was trying to have a dust bath but the hen wanted him to go elsewhere.

No he wasn't having a dust bath he was making really low clucking noises

No clue, then. I know excited clucking noises mean "FOOD!" Maybe he thinks he's a hen? I've heard of hens that act and crow like roosters.

He is happy.its called trilling I call it purring. Mine do it all the time when I pet them. He's showing you he's happy. Just like when a cat purrs, chickens purr too. Hope this helps. It's absolutely nothing to worry about in fact it means he's perfectly happy. mine purr when they are completely comfortable. .it's normal. I love hearing it because I know they are very happy.
