A roost is a place where birds perch -- the dominant bird rules this area and bosses the other birds around. A rooster is a male chicken. This is a humorous way of saying that the man may rule the house, but his partner (often a woman) rules over him.

What does the idiom 'rule the roost' mean?
It comes from the fact that a male chicken, a rooster, rules over the females, or hens. The place where birds sit is called a roost, so if you "rule the roost," you dominate the rest of your group. They do what you tell them, and defer to your decisions. Sometimes you see this used humorously to mean that in a marriage, the wife "rules the roost" instead of the husband.

Why do my chickens pick out the feathers of my polish rooster's head?
There are a few reasons this happen. There may not be enough room in the roost. The hens are picking feathers to make the rooster move away and make room for themselves. The rooster may have a slight injury and when blood is visible the chickens will peck at that spot. In addition, the hens may be attempting dominance, this is called the "pecking order" and is practiced in all flocks. Roosters are not exempt from this practice. The males may dominate the flock sexually but the hens rule the roost.
