Pros and Cons for Rosters.... Pros

              If you are considering having a rooster. Here is some food for thought! Roosters are great they are true protectors over the flock. If you don't have a big flock they always try to keep them, for the most part, together. He will keep a really protective eye on his girls. If he thinks you are a threat he will put himself in between you and his girls and always watch were you are. He will chase off any predators like a cat or a small dog. He will worn the others if there is some thing going on. What I think is amazing he will chase a hawk away when it swoops low to save his flock. He will basically sacrifice himself for the flock. (It's really sweet)  He will also make the girls eggs firtal for re-production. The hens will lay more when they have a rooster in sight. The reason for that is because they think they are laying for that reason.
