Wait... are you serious? I love the roosters, my rooster is scared of me...Can you guess how my rooster "roostie" died?
Well a couple of dogs ran in the yard (my rooster had already been attacked and we raised him back to health with betadine so he was really slow) anyways the dogs ran for where chickens were and the rooster cock-a-doodle-doo'ed as much as he could informing the chickens to hide and guess what they did but then he couldent run away to safety so the dog got him ran away about 1000 meters away and bit it's neck and left it. We had a funeral for it but anyway the point is that roosters guard the flock and they don't need 7 hems to keep one happy, we started with to but it varies with the breed. Get a rooster if you want to watch it grow/eat or potentially guard the flock.

I remember, as a kid, I had my 1st flock of chickens- some yard bantams. Some old english, some white mixed breed bantams also. I had 4 hens, 2 roos and 1 baby that survived a snake raid. The head rooster gave his life for the baby and her mom. They were out in the field, in the open, and then a hawk came and swooped in. He saw this and ran out there to them, flying over the 6' fence across where they were and tried to fight the hawk. The mama and her baby ran for their lives...and the hawk flew off with my banty.

That's a darn good reason to have roosters. Not to mention the meat if you wouldn't mind eating your extras.

I do suggest you go back and carefully read my post - - - -

The exact words were "Not all , but some roosters will attack . . .

Your statement "I weed out my nasty roo's . . . " says enough.

I won't address the rest because I feel we are taking away from the original posters intent.

Have a good night Buck Creek Chicken and sleep soundly while you can - - - -
before those 30 roosters start crowing in the morning.

I sleep very well, crowing in the morning is a way of life, one I have heard all my life. you do not want to address the rest because you can not, and if you read the orginal post I am addressing the orginal post.
