Hi all,
I have a flock of 8 hens and this year I got 9 straight run chicks to expand my flock. I know I have at least two Roosters, one being a polish silkie cross and the other a Maran. I have been reading through other posts about Roosters and have heard things about having more than one rooster based on a "good" pullet to rooster ratio. I'd like to keep both Roosters. So my question is can I keep both roosters? My ratio would be 15 pullets to 2 rooster, I have a 40 bird coop and my fenced area is 100 by 40 (if that matters). If the answer is no to keeping both how many pullets would I need to get to the golden ratio?
