MI-Homesteader
In the Brooder
I was talking with my neighbor today (who is very anti rooster) and he was telling me that my rooster will make my 17 layers slow down egg production. I have never heard this and was wondering if he is just trying to get me to get rid of my rooster....I own 10 acres in a very pro small farm community so there are no laws banning roosters so I dont plan on getting rid of him, he is a great rooster he treats the girls well and he is very nice toward my wife and I and our two young daughters (6 and 3) besides we are trying to become more self sufficient and plan on hatching our own chicks so that I dont have to pay $3 a bird anymore...... So what do you guys think? is he pulling my chain or not?
