I have a flock of 31 chickens at the moment. 21 hens nearly ready to start laying and 10 roos. we got 9 more than we planned on keeping just to have a good stock to choose a good one from and plan on butchering the rest. The butchering phase is next week and I wanted to get some opinions of what I should look for in a roster. We have a pretty solid idea of the one that we 'want' to keep... but I also what what's best for the flock. My daughter has a roster picked out that has been a real sweetheart so far, but as I watch them on a daily basis im noticing that hes not quite as dominant as the others. Will this matter when the other 9 are in my freezer? I plan on hatching a few chicks every now and then to start a few flocks for some friends. Any ideas and opinions whether amateur or pro will be greatly appreciated.
