You may be right there - I'm just interpreting based on body language, which seems to say: GET OFF OF ME!

Here is a photo of my 4 happy hens who existed peacefully without a rooster for a year. When this photo was snapped, they were on their perch, craning their heads for a first look at that handsome guy who moved in the night before: (it was pretty funny)

I am actually leaning toward just keeping the one. Seems like roosters are pretty easy to come by. In fact I think I know a few people that would let me borrow one for a while. That might be fun anyway. I really like genetic diversity.

Murphy's second law of roosters.

They are like spare tires, If one blows out you have another 1 to change out the old one with.
