On a small scale, it's easier to keep the hens safe from wildlife with a rooster around, but on a large scale they're just a waste of feed. If you're curious, fertilized eggs have a tiny red dot in the egg white. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Teotwawki@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago The hens are more relaxed with a rooster around, too, so they are good to have if you care about animal welfare.
