🐥 15 week update! 🐥

[Chicken poppy]

I have 21 roosters, & 7 cockerels.

21 roosters and cockerels? Their both the same. If you mean 7 roosters to hens, then you might wanna make sure none are getting beat up, that sounds like a lot for 21 hens. I find 4 can be a good max for that many, im not saying yours are mean, just make sure they arent beating them up. Thats a bit of a high ratio in my opinion

That could be your roosters, again, yours are most likely the same. Because its the same enviroment, same system. And probsbly a few of the same breeds.

I find roosters in the same environment tend to act the same if there is a lot. (Maybe consider thinning your flock if some end up being bullies, just a thought)

That's added up total. All are in separate coops with plenty of ladies.

I have a total of 21 roosters, 7 cockerels, 35 laying hens, & 6 pullets.

I don't have really any issues.

Planning on thinning out the bantam coop, & giving it an expansion.

I have 3 large coops.

Woah, 27 males? Thats a lot, how much females then?

Alright, from the last post, it didnt give a great description on how many ladies there were. That is a great amount, but its almost a even amount (im not trying to say you need to do this at sll, this is just off my experince) a even amount *or close to* of males - females can start up some bullies, im sire yours are probsbly nice. Best of luck with your chickens. Though you still may want to thin out the roos if things get violent

Actually I'm down to 20 roosters, since Goober killed my welsummer rooster a couple months ago. Forgot to minus him from the math.
