We recently found out that we now have 4 more roosters! We gave 1 away to the farmer down the road, but still have 3 more! Any ideas on how I can find them a new home?
We now have 6 hens that are 3 months old and we'd like to double it to 12. (We are fairly new and purchased bantams and learned that their eggs aren't very big) So, any suggestions on a hardy type - good , large egg layers? Do I need to find other hens that are the same age or can I mix them into the group? (We have aracaunas and buff japanese) The girls' chicken chalet is on the edge of wooded property and we have predators everywhere. (hawks, coyote...) They are free-ranging and have been sticking together.
Thanks very much!
