You don’t need a cockerel if you just want eggs for eating. The cockerel fertilises the eggs so you need them for breeding.
Cockerels are the males in the chicken family .They are normally larger and more colourful than hens. Cockerels are the leader s of the flock. Cockerels will make a loud noise when there is a threat and at dawn.
They are very loud and can be disturbing for neighbours so I wouldn’t recommend them in urban places. The ones I've seen are about £100 to buy compared to my chickens
who were £10.00 each.
In my personal experience hens will crouch down when you approach because they suspect you are the cockerel, the leader of the pack.
