Last March we evicted our rooster, B.D. In his ardor, his spurs had ripped feathers from the backs of his four favorite hens, leaving them with bare, red skin. Such behavior was too brutal for Paradise.
Ever since, people - mostly men - have been asking, "Don't you need a rooster to get eggs?"
No, you do not. Hens, like women, produce ova whether they are with males or not. Roosters are needed only if you want to produce baby chicks. Sorry, guys.
