Common Rooster Myths - Clearing Up Rooster Misinformation

Really interesting. Learned some new information about roosters that I hadn't given much thought to until recently. I knew you don't need a roo to have eggs, that they can be friendly, that they protect the flock, and they'll crow whenever they feel like it. But, that was all I knew and thought that was all there was to know! Now that I am exploring different breeds, I'm learning all kinds of new things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I would highly recommend this article to folks who are new to the world of raising chickens. It addresses some pretty persistent social myths in one fell swoop. I especially like the tips that a hen can crow and some roosters care for chicks. Gender roles are not so straightforward in the animal world. Nuance!
