I am a new chicken owner and have been reading the forums alot. I bought 3 chicks from local General store on March 21st. The employees said they didn't know what gender, age or kind they would be. Now I definitely have 2 roosters and 1 hen. One of the roosters has been mating with her and now her legs are swollen and bold-legged. Today she was constantly running away with alot of wing flapping, it was very sad to watch. We want eggs. Do I process one or both of the roosters? I also want 2 more hens do I keep one to protect them or will they be okay with no rooster around?
Thanks,
husband,wife, 2 girls,1 boy, a chihuahua, and 3 beautiful rhode island red chickens!
