Hi, recently we have been discussing wether or not to get a rooster to house with our 7 hens. Having pekins and other fancy breeds they tend to go broody this time of year anyway so that’s not a problem, quite a few people around us have cockerels too therefore Noise isn’t really an issue (we would look for a quiter breed however) I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what to do? Do cockerels effect the laying of hens? Obviously with my best layers being broody we’re not getting too many eggs at the moment, could a cockerel make it worse or is it the right decision?
