What do you do? I will have a small flock 10-12 egg laying females ideally (that's small right?) when all is said and done this Spring.
I have a mixed batch with undetermined genders (10 of them) so I have to wait see what they are. I did also order 8 females- so I will have 8 females for SURE and then whatever the 10 yields me. I know some will be drakes. What I am trying to determine is: should I have NO drakes, 1 drake or ...what 2 drakes? And is there any benefit to the flock of having drakes? Thanks!
