Out of the 24 chickens we started with, I have managed to whittle the flock down to 15. Most of those were Roosters that had to go and a pullet that just couldn't get along.

The coop and run was only really built for 12 (yes I went overboard) so bought the cheap coop from AHappyChick and am thinking of putting the Silkie pair in there.

Question... One Rooster to One Pullet is that going to cause her problems? I wasn't worried about enough company b/c they stay to themselves in the run all day anyway. But have heard the ratio 1:10 roos:hens.

Would someone with more exp put another different breed bantam in with them to give the roo a different set of feathers to mess up?

Curious.
