For those of you who haven’t ever owned a rooster, let me fill you in on how useful they are to a flock…
A good rooster warns his ladies of danger. If a hawk is around, he will lead to shelter.
A good rooster shares food with his ladies. When he discovers an extra special treat, he’ll cluck in a particular way and the hens will all come running to see what he has found. Then he’ll step aside and let the ladies enjoy.
When a good rooster loses sight of one of his hens, he will call her frantically until he hears a response and is able to locate her position.
A good rooster stands guard, and keeps a watch out while the hens peck and scratch in their own carefree manner.
Whenever one of his ladies is in trouble, a good rooster will sound his alarm and alert everyone of the danger she is in.
Now.....we have second generation white roosters....along with the first generation red one. Today I just discovered a second fully grown red rooster in the yard! That makes four. I think we are getting drive by'ers....and they are throwing their roosters into out chicken yard!
Who wants a free rooster (or three)?
