They don’t give a hearty early morning wake up call, but rather it may be noisy sometimes throughout the day. So, if you want to have a good sleep without getting disturbed by rooster, you don’t want to get one in your backyard.

Roosters can be a bit aggressive to humans. There are roosters that might fly and scratch someone’s face. It can be a stressful situation and it’d be best to fend a rooster off to avoid any possible inconvenience.

Roosters can also be aggressive to hens. Sometimes, as much as you try to put a romantic spin on a situation, some roosters aren’t as gentleman as most of think.

Roosters can be dominant and you don’t want your hens get hurt, though it’s a natural behavior of this animal.
