Really dumb question about my chickens and the rooster down the road.

[Mskayladog]

I'm hearing crowing in the morning so the folks down the road must have gotten some chicks and ones a rooster. My chicks when they hear the crowing stop and listen.. I was planning on letting them lose and let them graze the back fenced-in acreage when they are older, but now I'm wondering if they will go off hunting for the rooster to join his flock.

No they should stay in your yard. I have roosters all around us and no one has ever left, they've came back, but never left.

I agree. I have another flock only about 100 yards away and a very fiesty yard cock. He never attempts a visit........Pop
