Ok, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right forum but we're thinking about getting a rooster. Right now, we have four golden comments in an 8 x 10 coop and know we'll be adding a couple chickens for the next couple years. I thought having a rooster might help when adding the new girls. We're looking at adopting a 1 year old Americauna who is suppose to be fairly docile. I know we need to ask the owners if he crows all day. Are there any other things we should look out for? Is only having four hens going to cause a problem. The hens should start laying in a couple weeks and I think we might get 3 Americaunas or Easter Eggers this fall. Basically, is there anything we need to know before getting a rooster?
