9 roosters! I have one, now, but I used to have 10 (I think) all at one time but not with 40 hens. Hence the getting rid of them part. I wish I could keep that many chickens, though. A coop is never big enough ...My chickens lay wherever they please... They usually go broody and hatch chicks due to 9 Roos. I think there are about 40 chickens now, all mixed, silly mutts. Mostly bantam mixes. I focus mostly on my ducks. They are my favorite!
Of course all think chickens and rooster have names though![]()

Ducks are my fav, too. But their coop is even smaller than the chickens' coop, so ...
