I know you do not need a rooster to have hens lay eggs...But I was told recently that my hens would not lay eggs while the rooster is around. That I would have to seperate the rooster from the hens. Is this true?? I bought my hens "Good friday" from tsc and I was thinking they would start...
I have a great coop & wire enclosed run. The problem is the odor. The coop is fine and has pine shavings, which seems to be working fine. The run is all dirt now and has a serious odor. WHAT CAN I DO>>>>>>HELP PLEASE. We live very rural and I do not let the 8 hens or 1 rooster free...
Hi! I also bought chicks from TSC. 5 pullets & 1 one straight run. The pullets look like hen....the straight run........which I was hoping would be a rooster....I'm not so sure. I bought them Good Friday...so I would guess they are 7 to 8 weeks old. The straight run's comb is somewhat pinker...
