Hello,
I see many folks have roosters, is that just for breeding your own chicks, or, do you keep roosters to guard the chicks when they are ranging ?
I want a calm flock and will choose species that socialize well. Does the presence of a rooster change the personality of the flock ?
Also, what about raising a turkey chick with the flock as a flock guardian when mature ?
My coop will have a attached run, but, I do want the flock to be able to be out and graze. I am not in a city, but, want to be a good neighbor and not really thinking I want a rooster around anyway.
Just curious.
Thanks,
John
