Why is my rooster so bad at dancing?

[BubbaBubbles]

Sooo... All my roosters of my little flock are super gorgeous when they dance. My welsummer, Zazu, is all handsome and flashy when he dances for his sweet Bambi. Trifle does a cute shuffle for ol' Truffles, etc. But my Orpington, Sunny... When he dances, he does it very a quick second. Only doing one wing instead of both, which makes him look extremely goofy and clumsy. I always laugh about it but because of this he's failing to get a lady for himself. He tried to dance for Truffles and she was NOT impressed, even chased him off!! Goldie, my other Orpington, WAS interested in him until she saw the horrible dance. For some reason I assumed all roosters are pro dancers but he's proven me wrong with his awkward little shuffle. He barely puts any effort in and I wanna know if anyone else's does this. I don't think he's unhealthy, in fact, all my roosters are very active, bright, and happy. So... Is he just.. a bit different? Because.. wow... Bless his heart. (I REALLY wish I had gotten a video but he always stops when I pull my phone out!)

It's the old some have rhythm and some dance like Elaine on Sienfeld. If he's healthy let him do the soft shoe shuffle and enjoy.

Yellow boys just have no rhythm.

The only thing about him is the way that he walks.

I dated fella's like that, yeah - a no go. Married a good dancer, and my sons know how to dance!

Maybe it's the orpington? I believe they are known to be "slower" developing, right? I got 2 accidental roos, 1 welsummer and 1 black orpington. The welsummer was crowing and acting like a proper rooster (ish) at 11 weeks. My orpington just crowed this week (17 weeks) and other than that is completely unaware that he is any different that all the hens. And the ladies don't know that he's a rooster yet either. So, IDK how old he is, but maybe he is just exponentially slower?

My late Orpington roo couldn't dance. My Chantecler roo doesn't dance.

I'm going to play "Long Tall Glasses" by Leo Sayer for him, to see if that helps.

My husband does a bad chicken dance, chickens do this dance that is like scooping up a hen, he dances so he pushes me away. (wing on the wrong side.) He gets credit for trying to dance like a rooster though.

All my roosters are pretty good at dancing but I don't have any orpington roosters. Maybe it's a breed thing?
