    Roosters

    Yeah it’s popular, and I’ve had many friendly birds, but a bachelor flock is not necessary, escpecially if the owner doesn’t want a relationship with the roosters.On top of that the extra money to feed them.

    Roosters

    Top hen - low hen

    Pecking order amongst birds are weird, bigger flocks may or may not have a top hen, soem flocks don’t have a low bird, by top I mean a bird who lietrally is on top of everyone, my flock doesn’t, there has always been a bird who is capable of topping another, I have no lead hen.I do have a low...
