Hello everyone I have 30 White Leghorn hens,they are all 1 year old. I would like to add a rooster or 2 to my flock, but I don't know where to start. How many should I get? How old should he be? What breed would be good ( I would like some color and variation to my flock)? What else do I need to know about adding a roo to my flock?
We keep at least two, currently we have four. Among all the other benefits, having the Alpha busy watching and chasing the Beta means he is to busy and distracted to worry and chase us humans. I only had to put the Alpha in his place once. From then on all the roosters learned from him not to mess with people. At least that is the the prevailing theory.
Best of luck,
Rob
