    Ok so right now I have a flock of 1 Cohcin Rooster, 2 Frizzle hens, and 2 Silkie hens! I have 1 silkie rooster I plan to find another home for. They are all about 6 1/2 months old. This spring I want to get a few more chickens. I want 2 cuckoo maran hens, 1 mottled houdan hen, 1 e.e. hen, 1 blrw hen, and 1 ancona hen. I am debating on wether to get a Cuckoo maran rooster and switch him out with the cohcin. Sooo.....

    Questions

    1.Which rooster do you think would be best for this flock?

    2. Are those ok add ons?

    As your flock is very mixed, it would be the one you like the most.

    Do you want to hatch some eggs or just take care of the girls?

    If you're not looking at breeding the chickens, then you probably can buy any rooster [​IMG]
