In the Brooder
Hey y'all! We are new chicken owners and intended on getting 6 hens. We went to a local farm where the lady is supposed to be the best and ended up getting 7 that we thought were hens and 1 that we thought was a rooster. Chicken math, I hear.
So we've had our little flock for 4 weeks now, and are starting to panic. We are pretty sure that we have 5 roosters! And only 3 hens! The farm of course doesn't guarantee sexing, which I expect and understand, but 5 roosters!!!
Are they in danger of getting hurt with that many roosters in one space? What should we do?!
The rooster breeds are Black Star (meant to be our only roo), 2 Plymouth Barred Rock, Silver Laced Cochin, and Wellsummer.
