any one know what the most succesful ratio of roo to hen for max fertility and minimal damage to hens? I have 65 hens and 4 roos which is still to many roosters for hens in a coop as there is feather damage, however not enough for max fertilization.
My wife and I just got our first chicks ever. We have three Rhode Island Reds two weeks old, two lavender and one buff Orpington, all about eight days old. We have them in separate brooders and the temps are right, but the Orps seem to sleep an awfully lot. Is that normal?
Hun Im the weong person to ask Im new to this, so new I dont even have a chick.. But I do feed some wild hens with one BEAUTIFUL rooster. Im trying to move in this house that just happens to have a hen on a nest so Im watching her and throwing out food for her. as for you question whth sleepy why not take sleepy out for play time see if thats helps..
we are beginners here . when is it time to put chicks into coops. they are growing feathers but still have alittle of their baby poofiness. what is best for coops hay or chips?
