Do I have to have a rooster?

[SkyAJK]

I replaced my rooster with one of his offspring (7 mo old cockerel)He was hatched and raised by a broody hen in the flock and free ranged since he was hatched so he's untouchable.
EDIT:
I've never raised one like him before so I'm not sure what to expect from him as a rooster.He is a legbar and leghorn cross and looks and acts like a leghorn

I wish all is well with your baby rooster. Find your way with him, spend sometimes and see what he is like and how you could influence his development - personality/behaviour toward human.

The Moonshiner member is the leghorn expert, you could tag and ask him more information on this breed.

From what I read that do not spend time with rooster, the less the better. I am not a chicken expert, but I spend a lot of times with my flock and including my roosters.

I found that my old rooster was adorable, love to hugs..etc...he became a protector of his flock and this mean...protected them from me also, but he also knew when I took the sick one out to treat, he just followed me and watched.

Take notice of his behaviour and personalities, there is a possibility that he inherit some of his mother/father personality.
