I want to raise chickens, not now because we don't have the room and I imagine there is going to be a city ordinance against livestock in the yard. But when my wife finishes school and we move out into the country for sure.
We had some when I was a kid, probably around 10, and had eggs for a few months, then a lynx or mountain lion got into the coop and that was the end of that. Tried a second time and the same thing happened. My dad should have built a more secure structure.
Anyways, I was curious, what is the point of a rooster? Other than waking you up in the morning, do you need a rooster to encourage laying? Obviously if you want fertilized eggs you'll need a rooster, but assuming you don't want any chicks, just a lot of omelettes, what is the point of a rooster?
