Best Answer

When the rooster wants to mate with a hen he will often dance for her first. If she does not respond appropriately to the dance he will be more forceful and peck at her head. The pecking is his way to demand she take a mating position, which is to be crouched close to the ground so he can stand on her back and mate with her.
