a rooster is ok protection in the fact that a good one will die atempting to save the girls. girls get a better chance to run away. saving the more valuable laying hens and the fact is there are always extra roosters to go around. I have seen a particularly good rooster womp dogs, big dogs, and kill a hawk all by himself. now a more wiley pred will someday take him out, but so far its rooster 5 preds 0.
