The Dancing Rooster

Chickens are really funny creatures.  Around here, we have such an enjoyable time just sitting back and watching the critters and their habits and natural actions.

A while back, I happened to catch one of our roosters, a Barred Rock, doing a little jig on the "balance beam", the railroad tie bordering my herb garden, which has turned into a ginormous dust box for the chickens.  

He gave quite a stirring performance.
Moving this way and that.
Flapping his wings just so and strutting his stuff.

And then a little shimmy, shimmy shake going on!
With a final strut of his stuff in front of his girls, 
he turned to take a bow, thanking his flock for their appreciation.
One final flap showing them who's boss.
 Cocky little thing.
