is it possibly too soon to get a rooster? i have my eyes on a very cute silkie/Spitzhauben cross that i’ve already fallen in love with, but this is my very first flock and i only have three (almost) 4 month old pullets at the moment, but planning to add some silkies next summer as my cousin is going to let one of her hens sit on some eggs for me. should i wait until next summer to get a rooster? i’d rather do what’s best for my girls, and i like to be very hands on with my chickens and i spend a lot of time with them, so i’d like to have a roo that will tolerate that and won’t be a jerk. would this breed be suitable for me? (could provide a picture of necessary)
