They got attitude dude. Roosters strut to bring attention to themselves, both from the girls in the flock and from any predators that may be lurking around. Truth is, it is a roosters primary job to protect the flock and he will be the first target noticed by the predator. While the predator is fighting the rooster, the hens have a chance to escape and hide.

Attitude aside, all chickens (roosters and hens) jerk their heads while they walk because of the way they see. They leave their head still for as long as possible, then move it to its new position while walking forward. This helps them spot any tiny hint of motion that could be a predator (or a tasty insect).
