i have 5 hens and 2 roosters and get eggs each day. i'm not new to chicken had a flock before but the possum's got all of them. starting over this time i put up a electric fence to keep them out. i'm looking at some new stuff on the site.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

So sorry for your losses. Predators can be brutal. That's a lot of roosters for 5 hens, watch the hens aren't being over mated. The correct ratio is 1 roo per 8 to 10 hens.
