    Should I put roosters back to hens?

    Happy new year! I bought 6 chicks several months ago, and turned out 2 of them were roosters, so I have 4 hens and 2 roosters. My question #1 is: Many of you mentioned that the ratio is not good, so I made a new area for roosters, next to hens'. Since they grew up together (they actually did...

    My house is 1 acre. Can my neighbr hear my rooster?
