I have 8 rooster and 6 hens from my batch of chicks from April. They are fast approaching 16 weeks age and I have culled two roosters already. They were cowering the coop all day.
I plan to keep one rooster.
I am unsure about my flock behaviour. There are two- three roosters that are out of the coop, ranging on the grass ( electric netting in place) but the girls and a few boys are hanging around inside the coop. Will this improve once the numbers of rooster reduce?
Which boy should I keep, one who is hanging inside with the girls, or one that makes a lot of noise outside?
I dont want a rooster who doesn’t let girls roam outside? Or will rooster cull just even things out a bit and the girls will get adventurous.
many thanks for words of wisdom.
