Hi all,
I just found out my 'straight run' of Welsummers wasn't so straight, I've got 4 roosters and one hen. They are now 5 weeks old. I want to do what I can to keep as many birds as possible. I found a store nearby that sells sexed chicks. I'm unsure what breed but they are not wellsummers. Would I be okay to go and buy 4 sexed chicks and introduce them to/raise them with my welsummers? This way I only have to get rid of 3 birds. I can keep one hen and one rooster, and have 4 sexed chicks.
Is this an okay plan or a bad idea?
