local ordinance, no roosters for backyard chickens. You might want to check on that.
Before the ordinance, neighbors had a big old rooster, and no hens. I liked him, but some of the other neighbors didn't so he had to go.
Our dog "retrieved" the rooster once, and I think it actually hurt the bird's feelings. He wasn't hurt at all (soft mouth on the dog) but he sulked in the bushes for about 2 days.
