if you have a rooster can u add pullets with him or no to create a flock if so how many hens does a rooster need

[chickenlover8969]

Any rooster, really. The number of hens vary.

I keep multiple roosters to multiple hens, often it's odd numbers, but usually work out fine. That's just an example.

do you know what the maximum and the minimum amount of hens for a rooster also just a qeustion doesent apply to anything just curios if you have a rooster can he live by himself if he stull can see hens and other birds but is still separated by chicken wire/ construction cloth

Minimum for one rooster can vary from 1-6.
Maximum for a rooster can be any amount of hens really. Probably not any higher then 25.(Estimation) cuz he may not be able to breed an excessive number of hens himself.

For keeping a rooster, alone by himself I've got little experience with. I only had to separate a rooster once, & I ended up butchering him.

If she doesn't mind a mixed colored flock. But if she wants them pure for color she'll have to separate.

For mixing the results to be expected: Light Brahma Rooster X Buff Brahma hen = Gold, & Silver Columbian Females. Males will be Gold/Silver Split, Silver, or Gold.

Mixed Color opposite order will produce sexlinked offspring: Buff Brahma Rooster X Light Brahma Hen = Gold Columbian hens, & Silver, or Gold/Silver Split males.

If fertilized they will develop if incubated. They won't develop if they aren't incubated.

so if she collects some of them and they werent incubated they could eat them?
