Yes, a rooster can live alone but would rather be with a hen or two, but roosters can live without a hen, I have living proof of that in my lap. A bantam roo named Steve. He is unable to live wit hour other bantams on account that he fights with Jason, another rooster. Another standard rooster, Pepper lives alone, we had to give him away because he was mean and he lives alone. So yes roosters can live alone.

∙ 15y agoOh yes, hens and roosters live together just fine, problems arise when roosters and roosters live together as they like to have fights to see who will be the dominant bird. The dominant male will get his choice of hens to breed with. Chicken have what is called a pecking order and that means that the strongest birds get the best roosting spot and the choices food.
