Who doesn’t love the idea of watching the broody hen in the back yard, hatching out all those cute baby chicks, and watching momma hen teach them all about becoming chickens? Maybe you even enjoy the antics of a breeding pair of birds in their courtship; it can be quite a drama ( see video in link below). And of course, theres that signature farm livin’ sound; the roosters crow.. Making these experiences a reality however, brings up the question of The Rooster, and from there, many questions arise.
Bringing a rooster into the flock is a whole different game than raising a flock thats all ladies. What kind of rooster should you get? How many? What’s involved? How will he treat the hens? Are they dangerous to my family? How about my pets? Do they make good pets? What about that crowing? What is this role beyond being a baby daddy? We’ll cover it all, and help you navigate the decision; sharing our personal experiences, difficulties and solutions
It turns out that bringing one of these little men to the flock provides a lot of benefits to you and your ladies. Besides the obvious of course… In todays show we focus on “All Things Rooster”. Tune in as we discuss all the things you might consider when deciding on whether to get a rooster and how, as well as how to mitigate all those little problems you hear come with having roosters.
Do you have questions we didn’t cover on the show? Do you have stories of your own experiences with roosters? Have you suffered at the hands of the “Great Municipality Rooster war”? Is your boy-bird illegal? Are you harboring fugitives? What do you think “too many Roosters” looks like? Drop us a comment on the show, We’d love to hear from you!
