Amiti, that is a good plan, I was hoping I could get away with 3 pullets and a cockerel with no problems, but I was wrong, some breeders have quads in their pens but I guess it is different when the hens and rooster are older. I'm hoping to get the saddles today, it hurts me to see 2 of my girls with bare spots in their backs. Wish you the best of luck
