I think we have both fallen into the Chicken Math trap. We ordered 10 hens from Hoover Hatchery and then 10 lucky dip, because we knew we wanted at least 1 rooster. The 10 lucky dip all turned out to be roosters, we lost one of the hens with in a few days of their arrival and one of the "should have been" hens turned out to be a rooster, so we ended up with 8 hens and 11 roosters..(what luck.).1. I bought more chicks (hens specifically) only 5 days old at this point..I have 6 but looking to get at least 5 more..
