Hi y'all. I just wanted to jump in feet first. I'll use the template, but also elaborate.
  1. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens......................................I am new to chickens, but not new at all to birds.
  2. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 4 roosters 7 hens...I think. I'm still getting to know them
  3. (3) What breeds do you have? I'm not sure. My original rooster is an Easter egger. That's all I know. I was hoping for some assistance in figuring that out.

    (4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? Everytime I search for information, it pops up.

    (5) What are some of your other hobbies?
    Currently, I also make reborn dolls. I used to breed show mice. And at one point, quail and finches. I also used to do endurance running.
    (6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I have 4 kids. All of which adore the chickens. I'm really interested in breeding my birds at some point. But first I wanted to learn everything I can about genetics, care and general chicken behavior

Hello new to community!! If u are familiar to birds, then the ratio of Roos to hens is going to give u a big problems in the future I want u to know from the beginning especially if u have the Roos tog!! They will fight for dominance & this is just normal chicken behavior!! Plz separate them so they will not kill each other and give them girlfriends of their own!!! U know each man likes to claim his own heirm and keep them to himself in the fowl world or there is a fight!!
 
Thank you!

Yes, we're trying to rehome some of the roosters, and have set up separation in the meantime.
We just didn't want to leave them behind. My mom's neighbor abandoned them when he moved out. They were in pretty rough shape when we took them home.

Thank you for the warning though!

And funny enough, mice are the same way. You can't house males together at all. This is going to be fun. Thank you all for the information.
