I keep one pullet with one cockerel and she is fine.Those poor hens, you should add some more hens ASAP. A good rule of thumb is 6 hens per rooster but I prefer 10.

Luck has nothing to do with it. It's management.Well NORMALLY it doesn’t go well. In most cases a lot of overbreeding goes on and injuries can happen even death.
However there could some special cases, you might just be lucky.
You're tellin me, I hate it more than you do, but I can't seem to find anyone with black australorps around here.Those poor hens, you should add some more hens ASAP. A good rule of thumb is 6 hens per rooster but I prefer 10.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic, or even comment on the 1:1 1:2 or 1:6... But you are selling eggs, and therefor a black australorp source yourself. Why not just hatch some?You're tellin me, I hate it more than you do, but I can't seem to find anyone with black australorps around here.

My other pen is 1 male, 2 females and all females are 100% fine. No damage at all. Total confinement.
I know the potential risks, this isn't my first rodeoThank you for your concerns.
Just make sure they have enough food and water, and the female has room to get away from the male.What’s the management that you do? I’m really intrigued!

I'm also curious what the shipping to 32750 in FL would be.
Would you mind post some pictures of your breeding trio please?
Well that's a pretty darn good, and responsible reason. Where about are you moving to if you don't mind me asking? I would love to live out of the country, even if just for a few years.Well, im moving out of the country next year

I'd be interested in 6-12, but would need to wait till Friday to send payment. I just bought 6 O Shamo eggs today for a "good price", and it blew my "Chicken Are Awesome!" budget for the week.
I'm restructuring our flock, and I need some egg layers. Most, well all of our chickens are more just eye candy.![]()
