Thank you so much! Can you tell me, if a bantam is a roo will the same ratio of about 10 hens to 1 roo apply? I have 4 Americauna hens, 2 wyondotte hens, and 4 polish of unknown gender currently. They seem to stay flocked separately, with the Polish and Wyondottes in one group and the others in another but they do live in the same coop.
You are more than okay on the ratio.
Thank you. I don't really have a preference for hatching or brooding I just figured if I bought straight run chicks I'd probably end up with roos as well so I tried to buy them in numbers that would minimize fights or injuries.
What just a darn second.
It's a great ration, even of the OEGBs and Polish were the only ones not sexed!
@InexperiencedFowl you should consider buying a few lottery tickets today!
I only bought the Americaunas sexed, with the bantams. Then 2 silver laced wyandotte, 2 buff lace polish, 2 gold laced polish from a local hatchery. They were all straight run, I was originally planning for them to go in seperate coops, but building the first took so long I just put them together. I was hoping to have a Polish rooster, but with all the rest being hens (except 1) now I'm afraid to try to sex the Polish because they're probably all roosters
I happen to be a Polish master (self proclaimed of courseI only bought the Americaunas sexed, with the bantams.
