I have noticed that my rooster is pretty fond of hens fresh off the nest. When they cackle and come out after laying an egg, he is "Johnny on the spot" and does his "Hey Baby" dance. They generally let him on for a quickie.
Some hens always seem to have a headache. The hen who was broody (but cured) totally refuses to have anything to do with him. Another hen runs away as soon as she gets off the nest (and runs faster than him).
The thing that really bothers me is that the rooster does not seem to be so effective at roostering. I had him in a tractor with a broody hen, but he was easily dissuaded. It would be inappropriate in human terms, but why did the rooster not press his case? Does he need Viagra?
Not sure how much I need a wimpy rooster....
