• u/BullsOnParadeFloats Feb 18 '25 Even if you don't have a rooster, occasionally, a hen will end up becoming the alpha. • u/EHTL Feb 18 '25 iirc there’s a rare disease of the ovary that hens can get which will force them to produce hormones that turn them into roosters • u/ShowsTeeth Feb 19 '25 How do you define a 'rooster'?
