Rocky, and yes the all have names, is huge but very friendly. Quite entertaining when he tries to "persuade" the hens. We are on 5 acres and have mixed reviews from the neighbors on the rooster noises especially during open window season. We enjoy it.
We only let them out when we are around which has helped with the predator issues.
I would be concerned on letting them in the garden intentionally. I promise they will eat more than bugs. Ours love tomatoes, peas and pumpkins!
