I have an update on the 9 out of 12 rooster situation..
I called the place where I bought the chickens and told her about my poor average. She told me to bring them back and she would trade me for some new chicks. What a nice lady. In return for 8 of my 5 week old roosters, she gave me 16 week and a half old chicks. Does that seem about right?
Also, when the new chicks reach 2 weeks I plan on putting them in the same coup with the 3 hens and rooster that I kept (they will be 6 weeks old). I'll be putting an escape area for the little ones
but I think they will be alright because my coup is plenty roomy enough.
