I caught Humphrey (my rooster) and Lily (my hen) having a little chicken chat overtop of their roommate Autumn. So cute! These are the 7 remaining birds I have after a terrifying ordeal with a little weasel "friend" over Christmas. We got these guys last July, and they are our first flock. We recently added 10 Bantam Red Sussex birds that we bought, and I'm sad to admit I'm definitely not as fond of them as I am over our originals, but I'm hoping they will grow on me
We now have a total of 15 hens and 2 Roosters, I'm wondering if that seems like an ok ratio to you more experienced keeper of the birds. We are only interested in their eggs for now, and of course visiting. I have my eye on a white silkie breeding pair though, and I'm thinking that would be too many roosters for my flock?
Any advice and opinions are welcome
This is a great site for information!
