Hi everybody, new chicken mom with 3 chickens in Charleston, SC. One sizzle hen (Skeksis), one lavender orpington (Periwinkle) rooster, and one welsummer rooster (Biscuit). I've raised them all since they hatched. I'm getting more hens soon to hang out with the boys in an outdoor coop. I am also currently on an indoor chicken journey with my sizzle, Skeksis, and will soon be adding a polish hen to my indoor flock.

Love and Learning.
 
Welcome to BYC. If you are going to keep both roosters, you will need a lot more hens to occupy their time. One rooster can handle ten hens - so your one hen will be badly overbred to the point of damage or death. If you pen the roosters away from the hen, she'd be mighty relieved.

Welcome from Georgia!!
 
Welcome to BYC! I like the Orpingtons for their beautiful feathers (mine are Buff, but the Lavenders are gorgeous) and their calm, gentle temperament, and keep a few of them in my flock for just these reasons. Good luck with your flock.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Sounds like you have a lovely flock! Make yourself at home here and welcome to our flock!
 
Thank for the info. They're all still really young and "I'm getting more hens soon to hang out with the boys in an outdoor coop."
