Good for Nothing Rooster

[Talithahorse]

So I just have to know if others are in the same boat. I have a very large Dorking rooster in the pen with my hens. This evening, I hear a bunch of squawking and go out to check the chickens. four of my hens and one scrawny young cockrell our in the pen squawking up a storm. I look into the coop and there is the rooster up in his corner, preening like nothing in the world is going on. I look around and right underneath him, just in the coop door is a young skunk. Now tell me WHY do I have this rooster?????? . I removed the skunk, rescued the hens who were running around the pen squawking and then reminded myself that I have 7 Roosters in the place...... Why do I have this one????? Anyone else have slackers for roosters?

Heck even my blind rooster in the other pen was squawking.....

Lol, I wouldn't wanna go after the skunk either. They spray a distance of 6 feet.

LOL! Well, I have *my* rooster because I want him to fertilize my eggs so I can raise chicks. He does this very well.

I don't expect him to attack predators or anything. I know that some do, but I think of it as a talent, like singing, or dancing. They can't all be good at that. The rooster can still be worth having around anyway.
