Hi, I received my first set of chicks (6) that were born May 2014 and as they grow up fear I have 5 roosters to 1 hen. Obviously we can not keep the ratio like this. We really want eggs so we need more hens. If we add hens to the flock do they need to be approximately the same age? We do not mind roosters but understanding we have too many, how many do we need to get rid of. Basically, any advice I could get on how to get a reasonable flock would be great. Thanks in advance.
