3 roosters, 8 hens; my flock

Hi Harmony, keep an eye on the boys, 3 of them could over-mate your 8 hens. Best wishes!

Thanks. They already are...the one is starting to look tasty But seriously we might need to rehome 2

Hello, Harmony, and welcome to BYC. As far as the cockerels go - keep the best relocate the rest before things get bad.

I don't blame you about "not having the heart to dispatch them." I gave away what I called "mutts" I bought from TSC. The few I kept were bullied really bad by those I gave away. The good thing is I have moved from having mutts to where I am trying to focus on exhibition quality Silver Laced Wyandottes.

Hello Harmony and welcome to BYC!

You aren't alone, I can't take the lives of my birds either! I get way too attached, hens or roosters! Good luck with your flock. If you have any questions about them along the way, be sure to ask. Welcome to our community!
