Hello I am new here and I have just started to raise Silkies. I have 2 roosters and 3 hens so far. Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Welcome! I am also new here. Silkies look so cool! I wish I could say I know something about them but that would be a lie... anyway good luck!

One rooster can handle 10 hens, so two roosters would need 20. Your poor girls are greatly outnumbered and will be overbred unless they figure out how to hide or fight off the roosters advances.
