Well, ya' don't need a rooster if all ya' want is eggs.
If you want to raise new chicks, you could always 'borrow' a rooster for a day or two.

Do what you gotta do. Are you limited to a certain number of hens? Don't fret too much about the rooster. Make acquaintances with someone who raises chickens so you can get replacement hens when yours quit laying.
I can only have 6 hens. The bad part is a $300 non refundable application fee for the permit.
I think one of my Spanish speaking friends might take the roosters. They never stop crowing during the day. That’s what got me the complaint. He’s out there raising Cain right now…

If society fell apart, we - the people would build a new one. Most people are good at their core, and when we see things that are wrong we work to fix them together. Make friends with your neighbors, get involved with your community - because we will rebuild our lives, our communities, from horrible circumstances we always will.

if you put a sock over their head when they are molting (june/july) you can put them on their back in your lap and pull the down easily, to save for pillows.

They are great. Very hardy and will help reduce parasite load on other animals. Good effect on pastures too. They help scare off small predators. They can be rendered for high quality cooking oil which is very useful. Not too hard, good animal to add.

... they're grazers - provided their pasture is good enough, they don't need any supplemental grain to thrive. That's the main reason we're interested in them.

Some people embraced big pharma to change nature whereas I listened to Jesus and embraced nature to improve the change. The heavenly Father said, "This is my daughter in whom I am well pleased". 18.1.2020.

They are cute, but yes they are extremely difficult to care for. They jump on cars, they tear down fences, they get into trash bins and they will butt you in the backside for fun.
I sold my goats and bought a cow.

We had one for a short time before she fell ill from munching on black walnut leaves...we didn't know that there are certain things that goats cannot eat that might be growing in the yard.
