Just about everyone is familiar with the rooster "wing dance", and just about everyone knows they do this to flirt with hens or challenge rival roosters, but did you know that isn't the only thing this smooth move is used for? It's something they do just about any time they are bursting at the seams with big energy. It can be showing off, but it can also be a sign of tremendous joy, impatience, or even frustration. A lot of keepers see this and worry they are being challenged, but there are so many other possible explanations.
This video is a series of shuffles our boys broke out just this morning, and what they were expressing with each one. All of these happened within a 30 minute time span. We see shuffle dances on a daily basis, but our boys have never had any desire to compete with us or make us submit. If your roo ever does this, especially if hormones have him extra wound up or he has always been sweet, please don't panic. It doesn't necessarily mean he is trying to "put you in your place", and he might even just be over the moon to see you.

Whether you've got an adult roo with "aggressive" tendencies, a young rooster that suddenly "turned mean" or you want to be prepared when 'rooberty' hits your little angel, we'd love to help you create (or repair) a loving relationship with your little yard dinosaur!
