Do you have run-ins with predators frequently? If so, will a hen be able to stay away from a predator (ie bobcat) if they have a sufficient warning?We all have differing experiences and opinions, but mine, for what its worth - sure, they are good alarm sounders - but thats about where it begins and ends in my experience. I would not rely on a roo to protect your flock. My alpha hen does a pretty good job in my roo-less flock.
