Hello! We ordered 6 Swedish Flowers; 5 hens and 1 rooster. We'd like to raise for meat and eggs, and are considering 13 hens total and 2 roosters depending on space (I'm worried about losing the rooster in transit or early days). The birds will come from Meyer.
How often do you add new blood to a flock? How frequently do you "retire" the rooster, and is better to get a new one or can you use subsequent generations for a time?
Thanks for any help!!
