New to here, new to chickens, do we need a rooster?

from Ohio. So glad you joined. After 12 yrs of having a variety of roos for my DD showing them, I finally sold the last one. It is rather nice not being awakened at 4am.

from Eastern Kentucky!

I have a small flock of hens and we lost 2 of our orignal ladies to a dog attack after the mutts dug under my fence and got them while they were free-ranging! I sometimes wish I had had a BIG MEAN ROO to have taught those dogs what it means to trespass!!

But, then I probably would have lost him too

We have only pullets and for now that works.

I think the advice given and the stories told here have totally convinced me, I don't need a roo!!

Good luck!

I would love to get a roo but I think my neighbour and their yappy dog may not love it quite as much.

I'd rather listen to a rooster than a yappy dog, though!
 
Looks like you have gotten a lot of pros and cons...I have had roosters that are great and roosters that caused a lot of problems...good luck with whatever you decide.
