Question About Rooster And Hens

[Changes]

We haven't had a rooster in a couple decades so Ihave a question.

Is it ok to keep same rooster or do you change roosters when biddies hatch?

I change roosters to avoid inbreeding.

You can keep the same rooster for multiole generations. Just depends on how much inbrreding you're okay with. I have one that has been here through 5or6 generations and only now are having issues that may or may not have been a diet fluke instead of a genetics issue. Everyone he's fathered besides the potential diet flukes were healthy

Depends how much breeding you do and all.

We don't have a lot either. This young rooster came up about 2 months ago. He first walked around for a few days then we just kept him, He looks healthy, he is barred rock. Our hens are Black Sexlinks. I think that is their breed,part BR and Part RIR.
Thank you for the help C.poppy.

Thank you for the help. It has been a trying day for us with the new dogs who are basically wild. Lots of storms coming in today to add to the fun.
