When we let ours go out in the yard for a few hours a day, the rooster protects the hens. I know what call he makes to where all hens immediately seek cover whenever something spooks him, usually the hawks or eagles.

It is cool to watch. The rooster finds some food and calls the hens over to eat it before he does. I definitely want a rooster with my coup.

They can be annoying but you will lose hens at a much faster rate than with one. It's funny to watch what those chickens think is cover. Literally any shadow, even if its an inch wide.

I remember hearing somewhere if you draw a line with chalk the chickens won't cross it, or if you press their beak to it they won't move like they're stuck to it.
