thats a big bird!!

Im afraid the answer is no. He will put up a fight to protect the hens and give them time to escape, sadly though he wouldn't survive a fox.

I am amazed by what a gentleman our rooster Clive is. The girls love nothing better than cuddling under his wings at night.

I sure he would fight for them but I cant see how he would beat a fox or if he would deter one.

Can eggs be checked any way for fertility right at the beggining before they are incubated?
