Easter Eggers Questions (again)

[BantamLover21]

They both look like roosters to me, too. The size of coop doesn't necessarily matter, but the amount of hens in the coop does. Each rooster that you want to keep should have at least 8 hens to itself. Otherwise, the roosters may fight more over the small numbers of hens, and the hens will get overmated. If you can't give each rooster 8+ hens, then they can't live together with hens.

However, it is possible that the roosters could live together in a separate coop, without hens. The hens just make them more protective, and thus more likely to fight.

I only have 4 hens and was hoping the babies were hens. I have been on the fence on if I wanted a rooster or not. I was so excited to have colored eggs and more ladies to have more eggs. I still have Fuzz who is maybe a month old to see if maybe she will stay a she.

They are both looking rather like roosters to me, especially Dora.

So maybe I should change Dora to Dan
