I Think this is a great article! In particular because so many of us are new at raising chickens and especially roosters! I have always liked to watch my animals and chickens so I appreciate the very thoughtful behaviour analysis and examples of same. they help so very much! I would like it even more if the author had gone into depth about raising strait runs and whether or not to allow flock integration and at what age...including young cockerells who may try (in their foolishness) to challenge the established rooster..and how to handle that scenario with some examples of her experiances. Overall, a very important article and in my opinion should be required reading, before becoming papa or mama to a flock of chickens!
