I had 5 rhode island reds. I bought them straight run hoping to get at least two pullets for eggs. They are 8 weeks old and I ended up with what I'm pretty sure are three cockrels and two pullets. One of the pullets just died, leaving me with one pullet left. I live in a suburban neighborhood so i can't have roosters, and being social animals i can't just have one pullet. Any suggestions? Im thinking about buying a whole new batch of sex links, but Im not sure what to do with the other four. if I raise them a little longer whats a good age to cull them, or would cockerels sale?
