Should I get rid of one of the roosters or? We are looking to have egg layers and down the road, meat. Will these two roosters fight once they get bigger over the hens?
So how do I go about getting more hens? Like breed wise, is there a specific type that can't be bred with mine? It sounds like a stupid question but I don't know if that's a thing.
I did get them when they was 5 days old and she was an older lady with a small farm, so I highly doubt she just read something on the internet. The only reason I believe two are cockerels was because they have a comb and waddles. The other 2 only have a comb. However I just did my own "research"...

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? I currently have 4 chicks.
(3) What breeds do you have? I do not...
Hello everyone. I recently purchased 4 chicks off a lady, and she never told me what breed/hybrid that they are. I have looked at pictures of different types and I'm almost certain that they could be one of two types. How do I determine which one they actually are? Either Golden Comets, or...
