Rooster Questions
A rooster is a male chicken. He can also be called a cockerel (rooster less than a year old), a cock or a roo. He is very clever and uses his innate senses to protect his flock. There can several flocks on a farm or in a coop but there is only one rooster per flock. Roosters will perch about 4 or 5 feet above their flock or circle around the hens to be on guard for predators. Once they see an intruder they will crow a very distinctive sound to let the hens know something is up and to be watchful for predators. Breeding season is spring and early summer. The rooster will dance around the hen with one wing down during courtship or he will lead her to eat and while she is eating he will mount her and begin the mating process. Roosters are much more aggressive than hens and will fight other roosters in the coop to establish a pecking order. They will also fight to the death to get rid of a
predator
that is attacking one of his hens. Roosters are a vital part of any flock.
