New Here - Hi All!

[lizard23]

Hi there!

I am Elisabeth, new to chicken keeping and have a flock of 8 that I raised from chicks back in March. I have ISA Browns, Speckled Sussexes, Splash Marans, and Blue Australorps. Two of my small flock ended up being roosters, so I am here to do research on if I can make this work, and to look at selling/rehoming options. I have done a ton of research on the site and should have joined a long time ago! Look forward to chatting with you all!

Hi, Elisabeth. Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

Yeah, if you keep both you will need more pullets for sure.
And, even if you keep only one you possibly need more pullets depending on his temperament.
What breed/s are the two cockerels?

Hiya, Elisabeth, and welcome to BYC!

Two roosters to six hens, even if they all get along, will make for some battered, overbred hens. You'll probably wind up needing to either keep one separated or part with one.

You can try our Buy/Sell Forum or Facebook poultry groups for your state is another good place. Good luck though!

We're glad you're here!
