Something I need to know.

Nope, I have four hens and get four eggs a day, not a rooster in sight.

Roosters shouldn't need to be separated from hens. Also, if you had a rooster that is separated from them, how is the rooster supposed to help them lay eggs?

I saw many threads that say to separate to hens to roosters because some of them pluck feathers off the hens

If you have a bad hen:rooster ratio, then hens can become overmated, and will lose feathers, but a properly managed flock has no need for separated roosters.

If your getting hens in a already fenced I would say build them a home and get yourself max 5 hens maybe 10 or maybe even go lower my one main question what are you using these hens for?

There my pets (friends) and I collect there eggs to eat and sell to people in my locale area. I’ve also got ducks. I plan to reproduce also. I’m a animal person. If you think for some reason I’d hurt or cruel to my chickens your absolutely wrong. I hate spiders and can’t bring myself to even harm them

Ok thank you for explaining that maybe I read the threads wrong that I’ve read where they. We’re saying you should separate hens and Roos
