Adults Hens Are Stressed and So Am I!!!!

[Neilette]

Well, there are always going to be more roosters than necessary. You only need 10% roosters, but you get 50%! If it were me, I would look to decide on my favorite roo A.S.A.P.: It would be the one who is non-violent towards me and treats his girls the best. The rest would be immediately caged/penned/otherwise separated, found homes, or eaten. I wouldn't put my girls through the stress and physical discomfort of three competing roos, not to mention the noise!, longer than I humanly possible.

And as I type, I'm hearing my newly crowing hen (sex-link) put in her 2 cents... Oi.

That's what I'm thinking about now...I'd like to keep one of the roos (I "think"). Just not sure which one. I think I've narrowed it down. Sigh. It's like picking which of your children you'd save from drowning first.
