If you only have one rooster, it usually isn't a problem. But if you have more than 1 roo, its more important to have enough hens for both roosters.
Sounds like a good solution. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with your roosters. A good rooster is a pleasure to have around - one that shares goodies with the hens, watches over the baby chicks when mama needs a dust bath, alarms when needed and most of all, is not aggressive to humans. A lead hen will keep an eye out for predators and alarm if she sees any, so I think you'll be good there. Sorry to hear about the hens you lost.Hello,
Thank you all for your help, but yesterday, they found a way to get out of the coop and almost attacked a five year old. I am getting rid of them both after this. I also yesterday lost 2 of my hens, one of which was my favorite hen. I found a trail of feathers, and then I found the body, coated in blood, half eaten, and dead.
I am replacing them and my roosters with four new polish hens.
Thank you all so much for the help you have given me,
Marie
