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.
