Hello my name is Angel. I have 3 roosters and 8 hens. I have 3 hens in with one rooster in one coop and 1 rooster in with 1 hen in another coop and 1 rooster with with 2 hens in another coop. All Rhode Island Reds and one hen that is a Rhode Island Blue. I am new to raising chickens and need more information on them and the eggs they lay.
 
Welcome to BYC Angel! Since you are new to raising chickens, you probably didn’t realize this, but it is not a good idea to have such few hens in with a rooster. He may over mate with her/the hens and you wouldn’t want to deal with that. Get more hens for the Roosters, or combine the flock and get rid of a couple males.
 
Welcome to Backyard Chickens Angel! :jumpy
You're name is so pretty!

Like @CHlCKEN said, you'll need to work on your hen to rooster ratio, it will make a big difference to your hens

I'm hope you find this site as useful as I have, everyone here is so kind and helpful :)
:welcome
 
I have 2 hens in with 1 rooster and in another I have 3 hens with 1 rooster and another coop I have 1 hen with 1 rooster and in another I have 1 hen by herself she was injured by the rooster that is in with 3 hens so I took her out and put her in a coop by herself and she is now back to healthy.
