Also, hens are quiet. Roosters are the noisy ones.
Unless you are breeding foul, there is no reason to keep roosters.
Well, except for their crazy cackling after they lay an egg. :)
I miss my hens.
Dad had a rooster that the whole family was terrified of.
He’d attack them all when they dared to walk out into the yard.
I always had my Dobes with me and he would just stand off in the corner, glaring at me and muttering to himself.
Never touched me.
:D
I always assume one needs a Rooster among Hens. I miss my chickens. Growing up we raised Chickens and among them were a few Roosters. I always feared our big fat Rooster. He would attack anyone in the backyard. So to even go out and play I would take a stick with me for protection.
