I wanted to say if you have children the ladies will be nice to them if they know them.
Roosters on the other hand. I went through 5 before I understood how to raise one for family life.
They must be handled daily. Even after they are hard to catch.
AS well the hens need a rooster. When we culled the first rooster our hens started humping each other. It stopped when we got another rooster.

Dont be fooled by our world systems. There is only prey and predators in our world. Chickens are mostly predators.
