Thanks Wyandottes7! I don't want this to happen to the hens! We have been on the fence about this and need to make this decision soon. Thank you for your input!Welcome to BYC!We're glad to have you.
It all depends on the rooster. Some roosters will be fine with fewer hens. Other times, the hens become overmated and become ragged, with a lot of feather loss. You could try, but if all you really want is eggs, I wouldn't keep a rooster. The hens will be much happier. Alternatively, you could get five more hens. Then, you'd probably be fine, even with a rooster.
Thanks BantamLover21 for your input! We are just trying to do the right thing....learning as we go!Glad you joined us!
1 rooster is too much for 3 hens in most cases, so if you want to keep "Dom," I would purchase some more hens.
