Poor unloved Roosters!

I know! I am over run with roosters also! I have 12! and only 10 hens!!!!

My goodness I would imagine my numbers are somewhere near there as well but maybe tipped in the favor of hens....if you count all the young silkies as gender-less

Oh well mine will soon be crowing and echoing all over the place! But at least we will eat good for awhile!

I thought I had it bad, with 2 roosters and 5 hens. I have the roosters separated right now. They were just too rough on the hens. If I was practical, I would get rid of one or both of them.

justdeb1107, Hi from west Alabama. Nice website.

I have a separate coop for my roosters that I will want to keep. But I don't want more than 3-4 for sure! We keep trying to finish the coop and runs but with me having been sick and all the rain we are still trying to get it done....

It's really hard to find much on them. They're a Mexican breed that hasn't quite taken off here yet, but people are always excited to find out that our feed store sells them. (we supply them with chicks.)

When you have time, could you post a few pictures. Are they meat birds, good for eggs, for showing? I can't manage any more than I have, just curious.

Hi, we're located in Vance, AL. To see some of our chickens and other critters, go to our web site (in my signature). Just started showing and raising Silkies. I have bantam buff laced Polish and standard Tolbunt Polish going into lockdown in the incubator in a couple days. I am excited! We had 3 splash Silkie chicks hatch tonight and another on the way tomorrow. I saw about the tri-county chicken auction in Millbrook. I could NOT be trusted there.

Welcome! Lots of silkie loovers at BYC!!
