So i would like to keep a few different breeds and after reading about weather or not to keep them together my husband has agreed separate is best and is designing a coop and run layout of an octagon shape to keep them separate.... but my question is ... can i barrow a rooster to breed my girls in the spring and if so how long would he have to stay "the night" ? and other thoughts on the subject?
