Beautiful description! :pop
I love that take. :thumbsup
And I agree with the right set (meaning enough girls to share the love) and a GOOD rooster all them things are true. They add true beauty and character to the place.
I wonder if those sound your boy sings are the warbling I think of? :love
I understand that this is stated... "according to you"... and personal experience is often all we can go by. :thumbsup
However... allegedly non setting breeds... are seen sitting pretty often and hatching and raising broods. After a period of development from sitting, yes a hen can tell an egg...
Depends on YOUR flock dynamics...
IF your birds are over crowded... you WILL get more eggs by easing that tension.
With more space you have less cleaning and slower transfer of parasites and disease. The more crowded it get's, the faster things spread. What I get in return for more chicken...
In reality... a TRUE athlete.. who is training hard (in the human world), will completely forgo menstruates all together... as their body simply can't support the extra demand. Of course that is extreme and not what an average athlete will experience.
I'm not sure why... the industry birds...
Agree with Mare. :thumbsup
I keep roosters, they do NOT increase my egg production and sometimes have decreased it.
My gals enjoy hanging out with the boy... but will RUN when he tries to mate them.
Some roosters will give their life for the hens, combating predators. But they simply can't...
