Why do chicken crow?
Actually it is the rooster that crows, the hens sometimes make attempts to mimic the rooster but it comes out as a cackle. The reason the rooster crows is to communicate. He will crow to announce to the world that he is on guard and watching over his flock, he crows to let his hens (and other roosters hens) where he is and how to find him. They crow to warn of danger when a predator is spotted. He will crow in response to a hen announcing she has laid an egg. They often crow just to tell the world they are doing what roosters do.

Why do roosters strut?
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).
