Ya, I know we don't need three roosters but so far they all get along really good. In fact they are always together. They have (at least two of them) have figured out what their job is and are very active now. I did see one do his job and then the hen turned around and chased him off. It was actually kinda funny! I can only guess at their age. We bought them at a auction on May 12th of this year. They were fully feathered but not showing their sex yet. We have a dog that managed to kill several of them before I got the rest of the family convinced to chain her up when the chickens are out, so we no longer have any Wyandotte hens. Just RSLs. However two of the roos are now larger than the hens and the third one is growing fast. Guess we will keep all three as long as they don't get mean or start fighting with one another.
It took about three weeks before the hens started laying and now we get 3 to 5 eggs a day. The hens are very friendly and seem to be well adjusted to our place now. They do like to act like bullys to my Silkies but I think that will stop when the Silks get a little bigger. And at least one of RSLs looks like she may be starting to molt. Looks like she is getting some loose feathers on her breast. How many times a year do they molt?
We also have three guineas in the mix. Had four but a VERY large hawk decided to make dinner out of one while sitting on top of one of our dog houses. If I had a shotgun I would have probably shot that hawk but at least I know what happened to the fourth guinea. These birds seem to get along with all of the chickens so far. Hopefully it will stay that way.
Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it.
