Hello all,
We have 10 chickens, (9 hens and 1 rooster) and one of our hens has gone broody. She is currently laying on 9 eggs. We are planning on keeping all hens that hatch. They will be free ranging on our farm along with next doors' flock which contain around 6 hens and a rooster. We would like to keep some of the roosters that hatch and were wondering how many you think we could keep along with the hens on the farm without them fighting too bad and without the hens getting abused.
Thanks much.
Jamie
