    Keeping roosters for the first time

    I have no where near that many hens...I think both roos may go...I don't like seeing the girls stressed. One roo has about 14 hens and the other only has 8...and I can't add more hens given current coop space.

    Keeping roosters for the first time

    Thanks!! Maybe we'll give that a try! Even though they each have a flock you think that having 2 causes more crowing? Competition and all right? You're probably right!

    Keeping roosters for the first time

    I hatched eggs for the first time this spring and ended up with 2 roosters. I am completely new to having roosters and their roughness with my girls is a bit hard to take. Not sure if we're going to keep them. They are in seperate runs/coops and I know they are young and not so good at this...

    Staying busy is the key. Although I must admit that everytime I go to the basement I am mysteriously pulled into the room with the bator and find myself shining my flashlight to get a super view of eggs and watching for the slightest jiggle or wiggle to tell me that they are getting ready.
