Reproductive Rooster | Varied Breed

Attention to Local Regulations
In some municipalities, the presence of roosters is prohibited due to the noise they can cause. However, hens can do just fine without their presence and will continue to lay eggs without any problems.

•Advantages of Having a Rooster
Integrating a dominant rooster can be beneficial for maintaining order in the chicken coop, as he will not hesitate to intervene in case of quarrels between hens. If you want to have chicks, a rooster is essential because only the eggs fertilized by the male will hatch.

•Rooster/Hen Ratio
As a general rule, you should count one rooster for every eight hens. In some cases, two roosters for ten hens can coexist if they get along well (raised together since birth) and have a calm temperament.

•Rooster’s Lifespan and Selection
On average, the lifespan of a rooster ranges between 10 and 12 years. Ensure you choose a rooster of the same size or smaller than your hens to avoid injuries during mating.
