What role does a rooster play besides fertilizing hen eggs?
Roosters, in addition to fertilizing hen's eggs, help protect a flock from predators and lead hens in finding food during the day and roosting at night. If you watch a backyard chicken flock, you'll notice that the rooster calls to his hens if he finds some worms or bugs and wants to share the food with the other chickens. He also warns them of hawks overhead or cats and other predators that have entered the yard. At night, he leads them back to their chicken coop or roosting area. Hens can get along without a rooster, but they are better protected and cared for if there is one leading the flock.
