Ok...new to this. I hatched my first chicks two weeks ago. They are blue and splash marans I received from a BYC member through the auction. Hatched 7 babies...cute and healthy...don't know if boys are girls yet.
Then...I have 9 wheaten/blue Ameraucana in my bator now due to hatch around 4/7...
So here is my question...I am thinking about keeping 6-9 hens and one rooster for two types of breeds. If I have a rooster in these that I have hatched should I keep that one for our rooster...or should I purchase some fertile eggs from a different line and keep a rooster from a different line.
TIA, Ellen
