9 roosters! I have one, now, but I used to have 10 (I think) all at one time but not with 40 hens. Hence the getting rid of them part. I wish I could keep that many chickens, though. A coop is never big enough ...My chickens lay wherever they please... They usually go broody and hatch chicks due to 9 Roos. I think there are about 40 chickens now, all mixed, silly mutts. Mostly bantam mixes. I focus mostly on my ducks. They are my favorite!
Of course all think chickens and rooster have names though
Ducks are my fav, too. But their coop is even smaller than the chickens' coop, so ...
