rooster question

[Grass]

i have 2 roos both are newhamshire reds ....i have 6 red hens and 3 EE's and 5 buffs ....these roos only hit the reds and the buffs ...why not the EE's.....they are all about the same age

The EEs can probably run faster. You might consider having just one roo if you only have 14 hens. The ratio of hen to roo would be just right then. With a ratio of 1:7 the hens might start getting overbred and too beat up. There are some other threads on here about this topic. Good luck!

In my experience (which isn't vast) NH Roos are INSANE!!

that could be why, LOL. But that is just my opinion.
