Hens or cockerels

[sophie_morgan]

Thank you, I didn't think it was advisable to keep 3 cockerels I only have 14 hens.
He aggression was mainly towards each other last time I had more than one.

Luckily I have a few people already asking for these cockerels, as I wouldn't cull them. Too beautiful

Yes I can keep roosters, we don't really have any neighbours.

I just always thought it was best to have one Roo per around 10 hens.

Your adult rooster may well be the reason the two have not started to crow yet.

Hello sophie_morgan, I myself have one of these gorgeous Blue laced red wyandottes, and I've had her since she was a chick and watched her grow, and I say their both hens from the pictures from their sickles being rounded, with the slower growth of their comes and no signs of crowing especially when their maturing at this age.
I hope this helps, best of luck!

I really love all of these articles. I've just read the naturally good rooster. That was a good read.

Growing up as a child I had the nicest rooster, he used to even come in the house.

I really hope one day I'll have a nice respectful one- I would more than happily keep a few.
