    It depends on several factors. If he's going to reproduce, the breeds of your hens matters. If he's there with other roosters, some breeds aren't going to work. Your climate; too warm or very cold. Then there's the 'eye candy' factor; he's got to appeal to you in the looks department. No rooster can defend against big predators, but they do help. Toughest might be a large game breed, but only if he's the only male present. Mary
