We are trying this exact mix this year. Kosher King roos in with Ranger hens and visa-versa in the other tractor [Ranger roo with Kosher King hens.]. I'll follow up when we get to growing them out.

I've run Rangers for the last two years, and the tractors I make are about 6'x12' (2m X 3m). We found that at about six weeks spit the flock (~55) into two tractors. We noticed the Roos were still a bit tight, and this year we will likely split them [the roos] down a little more. They are just...
