[AndysHomestead]

im wanting to get a small flock for my homestead to have for eggs/meat. im wanting to get a mix of hens:

- 3 barred rock
- 3 rir
- 2 buff rock
- 2 partridge rock

im wanting to get a 2 roos and id like to get 2 from this group. im planning on setting up a spot for "beta" rooster, if need be. id also be willing to cull one of the 2 roos, if need be. im planing on making only a one time purchase of hens.....so id like to have this flock and just keep reproducing and keeping the cycle going. these are not for show, they will be just backyard chickens.

if you were getting those type of hens, which 2 roos would u get for that flock?

Depends if you want to breed pure or don't you mind if they cross. 'Cause they will. I've got 2 main roosters (and some deputy boys) and they rub along well with each other, but it's a free for all. We never know what to expect when we get chicks!
