RE: roosters, a lot of cities that permit backyard chickens do not allow roosters as they're considered a bit of a nuisance. As I'm sure you're aware(though I've found many people aren't), roosters are not required for the keeping of chickens nor the production of eggs.
- bombcar 2y agoThey can be useful for flock protection, if you don't get a dud rooster. But in general, they're more annoying than you expect. And yeah, you don't need one to "get them to start laying" though if you want to try to actually hatch some eggs you will need one (or buy the eggs ready to go). Now I've heard that the roosters in Kansas/Nashville, them do lay eggs ...
- jkestner 2y agoMost annoying thing about roosters is, if you have one, then you'll have a bunch. (Our hens go hide their clutches eventually.) But if you have a bunch, then you can have coq au vin.
