    Need some feedback about broody with adoptive chicks

    Normal Flock Size?

    Right now I have 6 chickens. Two are 5 month old roo's that hatched with my first hatch. I need to get rid of one of those roosters and get a few more chickens before he starts getting frisky. I don't want him to hurt my girls.

    Meat birds and children

    I have told my children which ones we will be eating and which ones are for us to love all over and play with from day one. It's worked so far. I was very surprised though. We had a raccoon get my Americana and my Barred Rock. They were two we were not going to eat. My kids were disappointed for...
