Response to Why Roosters?

I agree with the above answers. Our roosters are the last in every night and they chases in any late hens. They do offer a good deal of protection, we can incubate eggs and usually let one or two of our hens set. Finally, we love watching the rooster antics, enjoy their crowing and find them beautiful. If I was trying to raise chickens in a city I'd certinly opt not to have one (we did have 5 hens when we lived in Miami with good egg production and no complaints from neighbors). Out here on our homestead, they just seem to fit in! Kim
