Mating behavior?

[Vanillaandbean]

Hey everyone so I have this Rouen female and she is 8 months old but I’m sure this is mating behavior but I just want someone else’s opinion she bobs head head up and down and wags her tail feathers at my Pekin male and he runs away from her and she keeps trying and he is just not having it so is this mating behavior or something else.

A video would be the easiest to tell.

Head bobbing either means happiness OR a desire for something, like food, a pool, or yes, mating. For mating behavior, the female will bob her head near her partner, spread her wings out, and squat down. I don’t usually see mine wag their tails during this, but I suppose they could.
