I want to raise some chicken and ducks. I recently did my first batch of incubating eggs and out of 13 I had 2 hatch. I ordered Rhode Island Reds because of their egg production and got them from eBay. I just found out that I had two roosters out of the two that hatched. I would like to have about 6 - 8 chickens and about 2 - 4 ducks. How many roosters should I have for my little flock. The chickens and ducks are both for personal consumption for both eggs and meat. For the ducks I would like to have two females and two males.
