Honest question from a newbie: reproductive habits

[dfdesigns]

How often do roosters attempt to mate with hens in a single day? (I'm just wondering what's normal/average; my rooster seems a bit "randy"!)

I did kind of poke around the internet for this info, but all the search results that came back made me feel like a pervert...

The desires and capability of a rooster know no bound.

I once did a search for a website that as soon as I hit the search button, I knew that I had a mistake. Till today my wife still swears I did it on purpose.

Roosters, taking just seconds to complete the sex act, have a whole lotta energy to initiate many more sexual encounters in a short amount of time. My dominant roo, Carl, will tag as many ladies as he can as they come out the coop door in the morning. I'd guess he gets every third or fourth.

So, yes, they do it a lot.

This is good to know - thank you both for sharing your expertise!
