The rooster is the defender of the flock. It is his job to warn and protect the hens and he will advance on any predator threatening the flocks safety. While he deals with the "threat" the hens have time to get away to safety and it is usually the rooster who does not survive. Without knowing where you live it is difficult to tell you what might be killing your roosters....It could be cats, dogs, weasels, fox, coyotes or any number of raptors like hawks or owls. It may even be your hungry next door neighbor. Have you been smelling BBQ lately?
a Mongoose is really good at keeping snakes away
You can try contacting local farms, farm animal sanctuaries, or poultry rescue organizations to see if they have space to take in bantam roosters. Another option is to post on social media or online platforms like Craigslist to try and find someone who is willing to take them in. Always make sure to vet any potential adopters to ensure the roosters will be well cared for.

Yes, roosters have a spine. They are vertebrates.
They are just searching for food. When a hen pecks at your hands she is either trying to see if you have food or she is warning you to stay away. When a rooster pecks at you he is just curious since he would kick you if he was upset and attacking. When young roosters do this they are just following instict and protecting the flock. The roosters job is to keep the flock safe from predators and you appear to be a predator to the young cockerel. It is the way they warn you to keep away.
The phobia for roosters and chickens is called alektorophobia.
Menai Roosters was created in 1981.
