    Will a rooster attack my cats and dogs?

    I have five Buff Orpington hens and six chicks, I'm thinking one of the chicks is a roo and trying to figure out how he'll affect things when he grows up. My hens free-range and do rather well. I think they could benefit from having a rooster to protect them. But I also have three small dogs...

    Hopefully I'll be able to get some good advice on my situation. I have two dogs, both are trained to hunt (they're multi-purpose, they hunt birds, racoons, moles, rabbits, flies etc). Naturally around the 4th my dogs go nuts because the fireworks sound like gunshots. They aren't scared, they...
