Welcome to BYC. Your pictures are beautiful. I wouldn't worry too much about the rooster/hen ratio. If they are getting along and no one has a concerning amount of feather wear, I'd keep two roosters. Its always good to have a backup, and the roosters are beautiful eye candy too.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

For your silkie's crop issue, check her crop at night, then the first thing in the morning. It should nearly be empty in the morning.

I'd stop the ACV and try probiotics instead so it's less acidic.

Here are two excellent crop articles that will teach you about what crop issues are and how to treat them. I hope she gets better soon!

Good morning, and welcome to BYC. Are you certain that all of the new birds are pullets? To me it looks like more than 2 roosters in your pictures.

You built them a very nice chicken coop! I love the picture of all of them dust-bathing in the same hole.

Best wishes to you and your chickens! Thanks for joining and welcome to BYC!
