I'm new to chickens and have a couple of questions. I want chickens for eggs.
I bought 6 'females' who now are 12 weeks old. Out of those 3 are Roos. After their initial squabbles there is a 'head' roo and so far get along good. One of them is the most docile out of all 6.
I also have 4 six week old americaunas and 2 are starting to crow. They will be hopefully moved outside (slowly) this week.
My questions are:
Will it be bad to introduce/mix the americaunas into the 12 week olds?
Is it ok for the flock to have 5 roosters with 5 hens? Should I look for more females? Should I look for homes for the Roos?
Thanks![Smile :) :)](/styles/byc-smilies/smile.png)
