I agree I feel like a little hops might be good for her & as I mentioned I don't give her much there's no harm done. You know the internet thing always kicks in. Maybe the guy needs to start drinking LOL. Your right who cares atleast I'm not out driving. I think its kinda cute little Moochie she's my buddy.

I'm out of eggs. But I know where some brown ones are. I now raise big Ol' Honkin' Bob Whites & Layed back Coturnix. Pray For Rain In Texas!

Does a golf cart count as driving?

Nope!! You didn't here about George Jones he got a DWI lost his license to drive so he used his John Deere to go get beer in. Plus if I'm having a cold one I never leave my farm. Again, Yes I'm repeating myself I don't get my chickens drunk I still don't know why this guy said this.

What! You let your chicken drive drunk! Just kidding. My kids kiss their chickens and that is after they've been eating in the cow manure.

On to the question. I don't have a rooster but the people that do have a rooster have chickens with balled buts. Thhey are ugly with no feathers on the backside. If you think your chickens are beautiful with all their feathers don't get a rooster unless you want to hatch eggs.
Hens: 16 Leghorns or California Whites, 5 Trader Joe's Leghorns, 14 Red Stars or Gold Stars, 10 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Rhodes Island Reds, 4 Silver Laced Wyandotes, 4 Ameraucana, 7 Barred Rock, 1 Silver Laced Wyandote X Barred Rock, 1 Leghorn X Barred Rock. = 64 Hens - chicks 23 hatched on 3/15
Roosters: 1 Trader Joe's Leghorn Rooster, 1 Leghorn X Barred Rock Rooster

Roos also tend to pluch out a lot of neck Feathers as they think thats Forplay or something.. Grab them very hard by the back ot the neck and pin them down .. A Very Rough But Short court ship.

Huh? I have a rooster and my hens don't have ugly, bald buts. Maybe the people you know have too many roosters for their hens...
