I started with chickens last year, bought what I thought was 9 pullets, they all ended up being roos...so got rid of them,
now I have 16 newbies...3 of which are now roos..not bad odds, my question..is keeping one roo a good idea?
I really only wanted eggs, but I read stories and think I should keep one...what say you?
I have 13 pullets, of varying breeds, and will be getting 3 more EE chicks this week, to make up for the 3 EE roos I have! So my roo will be an EE...now to decide on which to keep? They are only 9 weeks old...2 are feathered out more then the one, 2 have combs one doesn't yet, that is why we thought he was a she...but "she" is crowing and everyone on this site told me roo...."she" seems to be the most aggressive...not sure that is what I want...guess I need to watch them more closely?
